Message: <blockquote data-quote="bleoh" data-source="post: 112805" data-attributes="member: 11237"><p>Thanks for the tips. I went and looked at it today and bought the machine from the original owner who purchased it in 1980 or 1981 (he was not sure). You could tell he was the kind of owner who took care of his tools and this machined showed that. I had to wait a day to go look at it because the owner insisted on putting in a new battery. It is a SL3510 with the Ford gas engine and 1900 hours on the clock. Started right up and ran great with no smoke or funny noises. There is very little play in the joints (all looked like they were regularly greased) and I could not find any signs that it has ever been welded back together. It has the wide tire option (27x8.50x15), a 54" bucket (not sure if it is the "utility" bucket or the light material bucket), a manure fork and a door and covers to close in the cab (though the plastic is very hazy). It also came with the brochure and 68 page owners manual as well as an oil filter and a replacement flasher light. The bad: There is a tear in the seat, the bucket has some rust holes that need to be patched, the engine is due for an oil change and the hour meter stopped working recently when he broke the light (thinks it blew a fuse). Now, if I could find some pallet forks and the grapple kit with aux hydraulics add on for the manure forks that would be awesome! I'll try to figure out how to post some pictures later.</p></blockquote><p></p>
