A likely bet for hydraulic pumps, motors, packing for cylinders, hose etc would be any local hydraulic shop. I can't speak for that specific brand but most of these loaders were built with "off the shelf" hydraulic component so all you really need is the tag on the pump or motor with its brand and serial number. A good hyd shop should be able to help you out. Another place to check is surpluscenter.com and northerntools.com for hydraulic stufff. Also many bearing supply houses carry bearings, idelers, sprockets and chain.As for the engine, if its just starting to smoke and the oil consumption is not more then you can put up with, Personally I would leave it for now, or at least until you sort the steering out. As for the tire flexing what size are they and how much pressure in in them? What does the machine weight? I run 30 to 35 psi in a 10:00 by 16.5 which is somewhat of a balloon tire is a 6k lb loader. If you loader has narrow tires, you may need more pressure then is.For a service manual, and other items ebay.com is alos worth a try, you never  know whats for sale there, and there are always many manuals.Ken</blockquote>
