For anyone that's interested, we looked at a few 434's, and 416's but couldn't find a Komatsu at the right money/hours. As a few of you said, there was wear on JCB pins and especially the bottom center pivot. We looked at a few Volvo L60E and L70's. They had more hours but tight as a drum. And the bottom pivot is 2 taper bearings I'm told compared to Jcbs pin and Bush. The mechanic hasn't ever done a bottom pivot in a Volvo smaller than 20t so that just shows what they're made for longevity. We know they'll be slower climbing the pit but it should keep climbing for a few more years
Thanks for the opinions!

Looks mint, can you show us the interior of the can and the like when she is in action next? Some fork on the front of it is as well.
