Mitsubishi built their own machines but were later bought out by Caterpillar. The first model Cat would have been an E180 which was pretty much just the Mitsi repainted as a Cat. I'm thinking that the E180B is going to be different.

Awesome thanks a bunch. The first SN break of the E180 prefix 1RF matches the parts book i have to the mitsubishi. No one could do anything the the mitsu part numbers but the cat part numbers got me somewhere. Thanks for the help! This machine has a few years on me
