[QUOTE="dozer, post: 39046, member: 2576"] Ok here is the story. I purchased this little Rounder L600 about 6 months ago. I own an Bobcat 873 and with a grapple bucket I can move plenty of material. The problem I had was the jobs where the client had a small or difficult to access area. Also I could not run an 873 down a sidewalk for snow removal. So shortly after I purchased the rounder it went to work. For the purchase price of $2000 I thought why not. Well she ran like a champ just long enough for me to appreciate what it could do. Then the rear tire started wobbling. Then she started flooding out. THen it just stopped running altogether. So the dissassembly began. I know that I probably had bearings out in the axle tubes and that the engine was shot. So first I dissassembled the loader.
