[QUOTE="melli, post: 61114, member: 7164"] LOL, thanks...not sure about the man part ;), but no doubt, I am sick...took me forever to get rid of the caked on grease/oil that was sitting at the bottom of the hydraulic compartment. Hoses are not very flexible. Was like an aardvark trying to get the last ant in a log. Was disappointed when I bought the machine...the guy said it was in tip top shape...should have squeezed him when couldn't produce a working grease gun...wtf. The front end was loose like a tin can with pennies in it. I've replaced the front bushings/pins to the tune of $1000...still have to replace bushings further back, but that is for another day...another year. I was grateful that there hasn't been any major issues with it, and everything seems to be running strong. I am amazed with all the hoses and 'o' rings this machine has, that nothing has sprung a leak (knock on wood). Anybody come up with a better way to secure these machines...I used to disable it by taking certain parts home with me, but I'd like to be able to lock the engine/hyd compartments...the OEM lock setup is silly...a hard pull on the hyd comp and it pops open.
