need a help on spare parts

[universaller]

Hi guys, I bought these very old SSL from Bobcat and CAT from a local garage sale. The problem is that I didn't aware that they needed to fixed with some spare parts before I can use them! Do you guys know if they carry old spare parts that are 20, 30 yrs old models? I called a Bobcat dealer, and he wasn't happy taking my call (he asked me to throw them out and buy a new one). Any input will be very appreciated. I heard Gehl carries 30yrs old spares parts, but is it true for every SSL companies? thank you,

What model machines?
Bobcat still have spares for the M610 series, and they are around 40 years old!!!
My dealer, is happy to help out no matter how old it is.
Some parts are not available from only the dealer, some you can get after market.
Start by letting us know model numbers and what parts you need.

Thank you so much Tazza - I'm very relieved that I didn't buy something worth nothing. Do you have any idea on CAT? It looks like it had a similar design, but I think it's as old as Bobcat's. Do you think CAT can provide spare parts for 30/ 40yrs old loaders? I really appreciate your help!

Sorry, i have no experience with CAT, Bobcat_Ron may have some answers for you though, i'm sure he will pop his nose in and give you some advise.
It really depends on the parts you need, most of the older machines use standard off the shelf items so you don' need to only deal with the dealers.
