[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 90962, member: 13117"] I'm guessing that it could be. It has such heavy rust that just separating the bucket from it will be difficult. On that same note, the locking wedges, handles & linkages are pretty rusted in place, too. I've read that phosphoric acid or hydrochloric acid will help remove the rust (or at least some or the majority of it), then soda blast the bob-tach. Then replace all moving parts. I'm guessing that the pivot pin bushings are also worn, so they'd have to be addressed, along with the VERY worn pin boss of where the tilt hydraulic cylinder attaches to the bob-tach, too. So, I'm certain that I'll be in for a lengthy process in rebuilding this one. In light of this information, I was hoping that someone on here might have one laying around or no longer needed.
