Does anyone know of problems with D65E's or P's? I have seen some comments on EX's and PX's but nothing on the clutch/brake steer versions.

Only the people at the factory could say where the serial numbers start at. It is my experience that all of them jumble the serial numbers to prevent or confuse their competitors.

The serial number doesn't show up in my sources meaning it is likely gray market. The earliest numbers I show start 22XXX and that would be 1977 or older.

The first number doesn't show up for a US designated machine. PC400-7 machines were built from 2004 until 2007. There are probably earlier ones as Komatsu usually puts out machines in Asia and Europe before they land in North America.

The PC200-7 serial numbers in North America start at 50047 so the same issue applies with this machine as well. I show years built from 2002 to 2006 for North American machines.

Good Luck!

That number does't workin in any of my serial number data. You will need the Dash number in the model number to start with to find a year of manufacture for the engine and maybe an engine serial number or a photo of the engine tag. What country is it in?

Sorry, just realized you need the engine plate. The picture I have is not a good quality. I'll post it when I receive it from the vendor.

The earliest Dash 7 model showing in the US is year 2000. The easiest four digit serial number is a non dash number and shows year 1987 and is in the 4XXX range. In any case you are looking at a machine that is over twenty years oid at least. I have never seen a Komatsu Sn tag that looked like that. This deal has a very strong smell to it at this point. It isn't something I would recommend for anyone.

You are going to need to provide more information. The full model number is necessary.
