[Tedbo]

Can any one find some info on this cat 303.5 excavator
Equipment Serial # *CAT3035ETRKY04543*
What engine?
Where built?

 

[Nige]

Built end of September 2014.
Engine is a Cat C1.8
No information on where built. I suspect N Carolina.

Thank you Nige
Is it possible to find out what the
Engine serial# should be for this machine
And if the engine is EPA compliant

Build in Japan

Is it possible to find out what the
Engine serial# should be for this machine
And if the engine is EPA compliant

Engine Serial Number is listed as 7ES01212.
The Specalog mentions nothing about the engine being EPA compliant, although with only 31.6 BHP I would say the power output falls way below the 75 BHP limit for requiring an emissions rating.

You mentioned that before. Did we miss anything.?

 

[Tedbo]

I am trying to find out
if the engine
In this equipment.
Is Environment Canada compliant.
EPA emissions compliant
and find some documentation
To import this machine to Canada
Thanks

Find out what the power limit is for Canada before EPA compliance is required. In the US I’m pretty sure that it is 75 BHP, I would guess Canada is the same. The excavator you are looking at is less than half that power. On the face of it there would be no requirement to meet emissions standards. Click the link in my earlier post to see the specs.


Also I suggest you contact your local Caterpillar dealer for guidance.

find some documentation to import this machine to Canada

Where exactly is the machine located right now.?
Please don't say China..........

[Tedbo]

i have ordered new LABELS AND DOCUMENTS from
CAT
Hope Environment Canada excepts them

As far as I can see HERE the Environment Canada emissions regulations in place for engines installed in off-road equipment mirror US EPA regulations.

In the US EPA emission requirements do not apply to any off-road diesel engine producing less than 75 BHP (56Kw). From the link above the tables showing what emission standard any particular engine is required to meet only starts at 56Kw and goes upwards from there. The engine in this particular excavator is only rated at 23.5 Kw.

Sold in Louisiana ?

That part checks out. It was originally sold by the Cat dealer down there in late 2014.

Might I ask where it was actually shipped from in order to arrive at Vancouver port.?

 

[Tedbo]

Shipped from china
It actually has a mitsubishi s3Q 2
004043x
Can you find any info on that ?

 

[Nige]

Without the benefit of seeing photos of the complete excavator it is my humble opinion that what you have there is a Chinese-built clone, not a genuine Cat machine. For machines of that size this is not an uncommon occurrence.

Here are a few pics

Do you have a photo of the Serial Number plate.?
