[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 19822, member: 307"] [IMG alt="Free Image Hosting at www.auctiva.com"]http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/5/6/0/1/1/0/webimg/198595979_o.jpg[/IMG] She needs some tlc, never met a “ready to go to work” used skids that was ready to work, but a few things and she will be good to go. Tilt cylinders need repacked, 1 should have a new rod. The quick attach is broke in half and now its trying to break the bucket to. Needs a heavier cross member to transfer the pull of the tilt cylinders from one side to the other. Also note the dark spots in the bottom of the bucket. This is where oil from the tilt cylinder seals is leaking through cracks in the back of the bucket. Not major leaks yet, but will need attention soon.
