Hey everyone, I just aquired an Erickson skid steer that was my grandfathers. I have done some searching both here and around the web and cant find much about them. It is a model 2542 I believe around 1975. Only has 110 hrs on it with an Onan engine. Everything seems to be tight and in good working order. i just had a few questions about it.
1. It says to only use 10w 30 ms rated motor oil for the hydraulics. I know ms is from the old oil ratings, will any of todays 10w30 oils be sufficient?
2. Where might I be able to aquire parts for this machine? I would like to replace the packing on the rams.
Anyone with any knowledge about these machines would be a great help. Thanks in advance.
