[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2067, member: 82"] I must admit, i haven't done ALL the work myself, i have had the help of my dad and my trusty 731 bobcat (seen in a few pics) to remove bits and pieces, some of these bits are damn heavy!!!! I got the machining of the engine done at my dad's work (engine re-co joint) but i assembled it myself, its really not all that hard with a book on the engine. The only work i will need others to do is hydraulic hoses and getting a buddy to drill out the bushings on the back of the tilt rams so i can insert a re-newable wear sleeve. All in all, these machines are really quite simple. The only major equipment you will need is a lathe. Making new pins and bushings yourself is alot cheaper than bought ones, and you can make them oversize if needed. The next part i am working on now is the chassis, i have removed the 8 bushings for the lift arms and rams (geez that was NOT fun) so i can make new ones, the old ones were quite worn. I will keep posting piccies. Eric - how did you get the picture to show up in the post? i can't work the rotten thing out. [/QUOTE]
