[QUOTE="vinito, post: 107810, member: 12954"] Figured I'd post a bit of an update. This loader is in really good shape other than the undercarriage rollers and track being “less than minty”. I figured it wouldn't hurt to blow a little money shining that up so the machine will be reliable for a longer time. I won't be getting rid of the old track just so I'll have spares, but I did buy new tracks and some bearings to spiff up the rollers a bit. I think the drive cage is in pretty decent shape, but I'm gonna dig into it to make sure there are zero problems with it and replace parts if necessary. It's pretty simple being just basic grade 8 bolts and some length of a couple sizes of tubing, so might as well look for worn stuff and bring it up to new specs if I'm in there anyway. So in a couple weeks I should be done with that (just squeezing time in between other priorities). In the meantime, the thing does still work great and I love how it operates. It came with a smooth bucket and I have teeth ordered so I can add a basic tooth bar, and I've already built a nice mount for my auger, a nice pallet fork attachment, and a hitch receiver attachment which doubles as a hoist boom. I'm gonna be in pretty good shape. I'm especially enjoying having forks finally as it's something I can use around here at least a couple times a week. What a great upgrade - I'm liking it a lot.
