Excellent machine, thinks it's a "real" backhoe. BTW hydraulic cylinder seals and packing can be bought from McMaster-Carr at extremely reasonable prices. George, like your thumb, any royalties if I copy it? [Reply]   [No Email]

If you have the part #'s for the different cylinders I would appriciate it. Thanks, George [Reply]  [No Email]

The shaft wipers and piston "cups" are listed under the subsection "mechanical seals". Good luck! [Reply]  [No Email]

It's a 2004, had 435 hours on it, I have about 1500 hr on it now. I have rental property. Use it for yard work. Love it. Wish I had it years ago, perhaps my back would be in better shape. I get my cylinder parts from Terramite, $30-40 to rebuild depending on which cylinder. Never heard of McMaster-Carr. I'll google it. How do I know what part number to ask for? When I talk to Terramite, I give them my model number, tell them which cylinder and they send it. Takes a day or two if it's in stock. Thanks, George [Reply]  [No Email]
