southern Alberta | When was the last "greenlight" inspection? It is a good unit I have one myself. Things needed to watch, hyd pump issues usually around 4000 hrs, some had problems with the valve seats being too hard and wrecking the poppet valves,and wheel brg free play. Mine is in the shop right now at 4100hrs with a rear wheel brg gone. Chewed up the end of the axle housing and wrecked the planetary gears as the axle was forced inward and out of alignment. It was all good at the inspection 400hrs ago. $3600 in parts as they will rebearing the other side as well, and about $850 at the machine shop to fix the axle housing,plus the dreadded labour $$. This is the only major thing that has ever gone wrong with it. Other than that a few hyd hoses,transmission output seals,1 U joint ,water pump rebuilt and the starter needed to be taken apart and relubed afew yrs ago. If it has been looked after I would not be scared of it. | |
