Guys, unfortunately my Kubota MX6000 burned in the recent CZU Lightening Complex fire near Santa Cruz, CA.
The loader was effected, obviously, but does not appear to have been badly damaged. It is covered in soot and the hoses appear pretty degraded, but all of the pieces are intact, nothing melted.
Does anyone have real world experience with trying to recover and reuse something like a FEL after it was on a tractor that burned? Any guess as to whether it is worth bothering to try to recover it?
My guess is that each cylinder would need to be rebuilt (new fluid, new seals) and all of the hoses replaced at the absolute minimum.
Thanks!
