Love the flame job!! Your not putting any on the 630, are you?? LOLNot much progress made so far, hope to get it all back together and runningiver the next weekend
When I was shopping for the decals I could not resist getting something to spruce up the forklift:
If I was going to keep it I might, there are plenty of decals left over, got to be able to laugh once in a whileLove the flame job!! Your not putting any on the 630, are you?? LOL
Lookin good! What did you use the 630 for at your shop?If I was going to keep it I might, there are plenty of decals left over, got to be able to laugh once in a while
Snow removal in the parking lot and misc odd things around my house, you know the kind of stuff most everyone else would use a shovel and a wheelbarrow forLookin good! What did you use the 630 for at your shop?
LOL - I've used that exact line before. Shovels and wheelbarrows are for the birds (although I do still have them and use them from time to time)Snow removal in the parking lot and misc odd things around my house, you know the kind of stuff most everyone else would use a shovel and a wheelbarrow for
Well she's done! Started right up. Only had to make 1 trip to the hardware store for missing bolts!LOL - I've used that exact line before. Shovels and wheelbarrows are for the birds (although I do still have them and use them from time to time)
Looks great! Let us know what you get for it when you sell, just for curiositys sake. Do you plan to paint the bucket?Well she's done! Started right up. Only had to make 1 trip to the hardware store for missing bolts!
Looks good but now the problem is since it is now clean I've discovered a couple small leaks, both on the lift cylinders, one side coming from the spanner nut , the other I can't quite tell it is at the other end and I'm not sure of it is at the hose connection or on some part of the rigid tube/hose that runs along the cylinder from the front, not sure the best way to attack either of them yet without making a huge mess
Does look pretty, but Mike is right, the bucket kinda sticks out. Even if you were to wire brush it a bit and brush paint it with some black rust paint, she wouldn't look bad. That's what I do with mine from time to time.Looks great! Let us know what you get for it when you sell, just for curiositys sake. Do you plan to paint the bucket?
On my machines, I use a cupped wire wheel on an angle grinder, followed up with gloss black paint applied with a small paint roller. Did my 873 bucket a few weeks ago, looks like new.Does look pretty, but Mike is right, the bucket kinda sticks out.

Wow, that looks as nice as Mike's 743. Painting the bucket would likely be a huge plus and I'll bet it doesn't stay for sale long (like Mike's 743).

You guys talked me into it, painted the bucket todayWow, that looks as nice as Mike's 743. Painting the bucket would likely be a huge plus and I'll bet it doesn't stay for sale long (like Mike's 743). Thanks for the pictures.
She's a thing of beauty now. Shame about the for sale sign, but that is a $1000 paint job on that bucket!!You guys talked me into it, painted the bucket today
That bucket paint job is unreal. How did you prep it, what did you paint it with and how long did it take? It looks too nice to sell now, looks like it needs to be in a Bobcat museum somewhere.She's a thing of beauty now. Shame about the for sale sign, but that is a $1000 paint job on that bucket!!
Cell phone pics are great, they don't show a lot of detail. Prep work included using a hand wire brush to remove any dirt and loose rust then a 2 coat spray job with an industial rustoleum made for direct to metal applications, 3700 series. This is stuff you can't just get in the local hardware store or Home depot. My finsih supplier for the laquers I use has started to carry the line so I gave it a try. It is kind of thick so it did not spray as well as other material in my equiptment but is an acrylic enamel so it is reduced and cleaned up with water and dries in 1-2 hours so not too bad to use.That bucket paint job is unreal.
