I had a Melroe 600 years ago. The hydraulic pump was mounted just below the distributor on the engine block if memory serves. The engine was tired, and at that time it was over $2700 in parts to rebuild it, over $3700 to replace it. I opted for a Honda 27 HP horizontal shaft engine for $2300...

I kicked around a 4 in 1 before getting a grapple, but as already mentioned, it depends on if thats what you need. I maintain the better part of 40 acres in AR, which is always down limbs, and sometimes trees as well, that need to be stacked and burned, a grapple will grab things a 4 in 1 won't...

I am searching for an engine belt Sheave assembly for an M-600. I need the outer sheave half all the way out to the presur piston, the more complete the better. Anyone know where I could pick one up at? The Bobcat dealers have only later versions that require a complete retrofit. Any other...
