Used loader parts- I am happy to say I got the lower center pin problem fixed this afternoon.
Three years I been playing on this machine and everytime I raised the bucket the rear of the machine would move up and down about 4 inches from the lower pin problem. So the old Waldon 5000 is getting nicer to drive everyday. I actually like this one better with the big tires and the big snow bucket but the smaller loader was a better overall machine. They both run great and the hydraulics both work great but this one is older. Tomorrow I got to grind the ends of the pins on the bucket and get a sledge hammer and try to drive them out. Somebody welded the ends of the pins so it could be tricky getting them out. I want to try to rig up a quick tach system for the bucket or the front forks. Without the bucket you can see the forks so much better .
Have a great Wed.
