Wow, this is just the way most of us, would ike to find a 35 /40year old digger....sleeping in a sunlit glade, straight as a dye, none of its innards hanging out, with a pleasant patina of grime and algae probably covering a machine that wil scrub up well and be very handy for the next 20 years plus if treated with the care she's recived in the past. Looks to be of the same design and build concept as the 15 to 22 ton Fiat hitachis very popular in Europe back then, and still useful now, due to lack of electrical complexity.
The machine is clean don’t mean physically, the machine isn’t beat to hell. The cat walks are straight the side panels not stoved in. Good old machine for somebody that has acreage. Could be a starter unit for people that want to rent an excavator but they don’t have any experience lol.
Yes, for sure a 3300 series. Oil cooler and filter bracket correct. Also side view and soft plugs in cyl head. I'm unsure about all the locations these engines were built though, I'll defer to your knowledge.
@@skadill if I did a walk around video on a koehring excavator and said nothing during it would you like to do a voice over on it with your thoughts as if it had been you recording it you can have complete rights to the video and put it on your channel doing what ever it is you please with it
@@skadill ok I pass these 2 old koehrings everyday literally and I always think about doing a walk around and what you would think of it because I know the owner and it would be perfectly fine for me to do a walk around I'd love for you to see them
"Will it Run?".......I bet it would. VERY intact machine. Nice.

Thanks for another great vid, Mr Skadil. Working nostalgia..
Looks like that boom has had the classical "fish plating" treatment.
I hope it's saved! what a nice piece!
Wish I could find a little packman Cat like that. Would be a perfect farm machine. Not to big. Not to small.

Thoes are good old machines. I had a couple of them and still have one. With good batteries they start on the first click of the switch.
What, ?? No trail of thorns & barb's.
Poison this or that.
Oh ya nice machine.

Nice rig. It'll live. Thanks, Pal! GBWYall!

Nice find for sure!
Thanks for the watch!
You are correct these were European machines ,they came standard with the 3304 engine.the 215 used D4E size undercarriage components.

@@Joelontugs I'd just post it with a credit to who filmed it.A lot of photos I post have come from others collections given to me

@@Joelontugs sounds interesting!,just film super slow and no quick movements,like your carrying a glass filled to the brim.3 min per machine is best
