I have to go to Lancaster PA tomorrow, and will be going near 3 NH dealers. May be one of them will have the parts on the shelf and I can stop and grab them. I really need this machine, I have 5 tons of wheat seed and 4 tons of fertilizer coming along with 2 semi loads of chicken manure for this one farm, and it's there broken down! I'm probably going to put a seal kit in it since it's apart. Dad thinks he rebuilt them about 10 years ago, so it's probably time again. If this doesn't fix it, I'll send it to the hydraulic machine shop, I'm sure he can fix it, it's just does he want to. They have so much work from the well drillers and frackers us little guys/farmers don't seem to matter anymore. 5 years ago we were his bread and butter, today they kinda roll their eyes at us when we walk in the door. Plus his prices have tripled! We would have bought a new machine 7-8 years ago, but we can't find any we like, the way this one feels and is balanced, none seem to compare today. It's been here so long it's like a member of the family now, it will probably be here forever. The new machines seem to run so fast and are so jerky, or are too big or too small. I guess since I cut my teeth on this machine nothing feels more natural to me, and nothing ever will. Same with my old 977's and 955 loaders, I feel like I'm on a wild animal with the "new" rear engine loaders. I've gotten used to them, but I think I can run a 977 in my sleep.</p></blockquote><p></p>
