[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2825, member: 82"] The side to side movement you are talking about is normal, I am going to remove mine by maching some small nylon spacers, Nylon will not wear the side of the loader or the cylinder, so i do recommend you look at nylon before you go putting in metal spacers. Mine had worn so bad that the side of the cylinder has a nice flat face worn on it. On another machine i have, the cylinder wore so much that at the base of the ram and was actully leaking through the weld (well what little was left). If you do go the path of metal spacers, keep it greased and it will be fine, nylon seems to take lack of greasing a little better than steel on steel abrasion. About the engine, its really sad just how many people neglect their engines, it doesn't cost much to drop the oil and change a filter. For a few dollars here and there it will save you thousnads later on from lack of lubrication because you never changed your oil. [/QUOTE]
