Well, folks, the dealer I bought my TC33D from, lost his dealership yesterday. NH came in and took his license, plus all new machinery on his lot. This guy was a rip. When I bought my Boomer, I got an Allied FEL with it. He took off the new joy stick and put on a used one. I caught him. Also, found several other parts that had been switched. And he did some funny things with our paperwork. After several months of complaints from other buyers about this dealer's shenanigans, they decided, maybe he wasn't NH material(plus a class action against NH). Now for the fun part. Seems as if Tom Miller, Att. Gen. for Iowa, is looking into the allegations that NH knew of this dealers activities. Only time will tell if NH has done no wrong. My Boomer is doing fine now, that I have most of the supposedly new parts replaced...Including 4 batteries....BTW, back in June, some derelict from NH corporate in Ankeny, Iowa, told me that every Boomer off the line was perfect with no problems whatsoever. *shakin head*..Mine is now....*smilin*
