Hey everyone,

Trying to weigh out the purchase of a (what I now understand to be) gray market machine. Looking at a k-022 excavator local to me, but I am finding ZERO info on it. Its a 1998 machine. Any ideas on a cross-reference? Is it a bad idea to even consider this machine? 3500 hours, seems well cared for.

If you can do your own wrench turing, then I don't see why not if the price is right.

I'm with ya, I would be doing the work. The issue is that I need to figure out how to get parts, and I haven't been able to sort that process out yet. Looks like I need to determine the local equivalent machine.
Parts are easy, most of the parts will directly cross over to many other EX's, equipment and tractors.
