Inherited old Poclain 1972 or 74?? Hasn't run in years. Runs good till she warms up then loses power and starts smoking. Could use a set of rings I suspect. Better to scrap it, part it out or try to sell it?

better to sale than to scrap.
That is a Poclain LC80, there were lots of them in the UK,the early ones had a French Agrom 6 cyl air cooled engine and the later ones had a 6 cyl Deutz,clean fuel was a must,the gauze in the feed pump of the Deutz was very fine and blocked easily causing it to miss fire and smoke,the hydraulics,you needed to understand them to work on them as they were not conventional,I still have all the tooling required to work on the pumps,the most common thing to go wrong with the hydraulics were the o'ring on the body of the main regulator valve would blow,in their day they were a good machine and were very poplar in the scrap handling business,back then Poclain were the leaders with grabs and magnets,if you have a look at the back end of the engine you will see that there is provision made to mount a generator for the magnet, its a pity to scrap it or any machine.

If it is just rings not a big deal the motor kinda comes apart like a motor cycle. Thing is the parts are pricy and may be more wrong, the old thing was a hoses in it,s day but they are not much for parts because not many people fixing them up these days. Pretty heavy machine if you are thinkin selloing it across the scales probably a $3500 to 4500 hundred dollar maching depending on what your yard is paying for scrap.
My decision on fixing it would hing on the condition of the undercariage, if it has good tracks might be worth spending the money who knows.
