[QUOTE="sledesigns, post: 27382, member: 2358"] Curious if anyone has done what I'd been thinking about in the department of: "Don't particularly need lots of electronics on an industrial machine" Subheading:" I drive and fix my own machine"... Buy a T-300 for $13k. Buy the maintenace book on it. Strip & sell all the hydro-electricals, electronics, BOSS, etc. Recoup say $3k. Hook normal control valves for the hand & foot controls, standard Bobcat style. May have to make foot pedals if it was a full hand control machine. Put standard streetrod wiring in it, ignition, lights, alt, gauges. Possible issue, if the track drive motors have neccesary electronics for them to function...solved with...another set of standard hyd motors. Put streetrod heat / defrost & AC in it for a 'Gold Package' for less than $1k. May not be possible though if the Diesel is laden with electronics. New set of tracks & an under carriage freshening up and you have a new T300 with 743 reliability for approx $15k & parts availability for the next 30+ years. [/QUOTE]
