I started off doing some fluid and filter checks on this crawler loader, and then things escalated. I ran into problems I expected, and then more problems I didn't expect. I'm glad I looked at the final drive spindles, because that could have been catastrophic!

I've been buying stuff from them for many decades. Some things are overpriced, but they are great for hydraulic fittings and hoses. Also got that suction grease gun for under $10.

They actually carry parts for this machine! Not the fastest shipping, but they've got the stuff.
