[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 9093, member: 82"] Ken, i had a closer look on the weekend, it does have 2 small cracks on the support gusset on the top of the boom. I will have to repair these. I also fixed the RH stabilizer leg. For some reason they removed the pin and re-installed it without putting it through the eye of the ram. The leg was just hanging down. I think it was done by an employee that wanted to buy the machine and attachment cheap. This machine and hoe attachment is probably my best buy to date! The machine is desperate for a coat of paint but the engine and hydrostats are excellent. On a 25-30C day the engine starts easily on compression alone. I just wish the engine i fully re-built did that...... The swing is deadly!!! I need to get used to it. I'm considering installing a pair of restrictors to slow things down a tad, just an in-line fitting with a smaller hole drilled to restrict the flow a bit. None of the rams leak either, i gave it a little bit of a work out and dug a small ditch, it works pretty well. I just need to get used to the controls. [/QUOTE]
