Hello Forum, just bought a 2004 Mustang 2044 skid steer. Have driven a few bobcats but this is my first skid steer that I own, got a few questions, this machine was wayyy too bouncy and it would jerk back and forth even at super low speeds so I checked the front tires for air, one was at 15 psi the other at 30 psi but the back tires eventhough they are similar tubeless tires like the front ones had no air at all and also I could not put any air in them, also they do not look flat. Are these foam filled tires? I filled the front tires to 60psi each and the bouncing back and forth probably got worse. Is there any other issue that could cause this besides the mismatched tires? Also if the rear tires are foam filled will I still be able to use the rims without much issue and put air tires back on them? Also where is a good place to buy parts, the two pins for the bucket where it connects to the arms also seem to have a lot of play in them.
Also the machine has 3100 hrs and the previous owner said he rebuild the engine 200 hours ago. Besides the tire issue it also needs a bucket and the parking brakes don't work either. Paid 10k for it, would you say it was a fair deal?
Any help appreciated,
cheers
