RM.55 ‘70s Poclain LC80 Excavator “Old Smokey” 

First machine I ran in 1976, The old piano

We call them piano levers. I had it's smaller comerad the TCS. Actually not bad when you get the hang of it. I'd have spare parts them. Make sure you have buzzer working when fanbelt brakes. Clean out pots and oil coil cooler

thats a 6 cylinder deutz, first and most imprtant job is to steam clean that rats nest out of there and clear arount them pots, any crap in there will make them overheat, the floor lever is the 2 speed tracks, i have a similar age machine in the uk, yours looks well compared to mine lol

ive got the wheeled version of this machine its got a deutz f6l912 in it and that valve that leaks should be the swing brake. these are good machines but other than engine parts there is nothing available for them. mine has actually broke and im looking for used parts is how i stumbled upon your video.

How is the Poclain excavator doing? any news?
