Not a big fan of anything Chinese, but couldn't pass this one up at $1000. It actually seems to run pretty well. The shuttle lever was seized up and i was able to soak it with penetrant and slid a piece of 3/4 emt on for a little extra leverage, to get it on the trailer.
This machine has a modified ford 770A loader on it. The loader frame has a LOT of scrap metal welded to it for reinforcement.
Nothing connecting loader frame to rear axle. I'm a little concerned about that, and don't want to have the machine break in half if I overwork it.
My main questions are:
1. Are the hydraulic fittings JIC on this thing? I want to replace at least the lift cylinder lines before working it. Years ago, I picked up a Parker Carry Crimp for little money. It came with three dies. I havent looked at it in years, but I know that one of the dies is 3/8". I'm wondering if it will work with the 770 lines.
2. Loader pins and bushings: Need a good source for them.
3. Ballast box: how big? Loader bucket is 1/3 yd.
