Would it be possible to do an ordinary preassure test on each cylinder? I know some skids are quite compact and it might be hard to fit the probes but a preassure test will give you a good indivation if the top, the head gasket, pistons and their rings are okay. I regret now knowing about this...

That's great to hear. I'd really like to have that "lock" as well as it's quite heavy and I don't want to be chopped into two pieces when messing around under the seat ;-)

Thank's I'll make sure to check this (y):)

Hi, The link to the parts catalogue unfortunately gave me this 403 error message but I had a look in a PDF that someone posted (see attatched picture) for the 642 model and found the following part numbers: 6700171: #10, CYLINDER GAS, W/O lock - Also Order 6675257 clevis - Was 6700000 or...

Hi friends, The cab on my 643 is super heavy. It's extremely hard to tilt it even by two full grown men (jokes welcome 😁). There are two gas springs/dampers, one on each side of the cab. Se picture below. I've also notised that some models have a horizontal "spring" between the chassie and cab...

Alrighty (y) I guess no one will miss this number when I repain the machine then :cool:;) Thank's a mill' for the quick answer @Tlawdogg !

Hello fellow skidsteerers, Bought this old guy last year. Needs quite a bit of love to get back into shape but I'm curious about the numbers 275 on the upper side frame. Are these just numbers added by a former construction company to keep track of their skidsteer fleet or does the number...

Are you referring to the pistons in the engine cylinders now or the rod in the hydraulic cylinder? I am a little confused.. ;-)
