I need to change all 5cyls on this loader, as they all seep a bit... what a mess it all makes!!! However, the twin loader arm cyls have zero trouble lifting a bucket full quickly with the higher pressure. |
Got it Joe. Thanks. How many hours have you got on the WA500 now? Any idea what the weight is, with BB's in the tires? Seems a pretty darn robust machine, for all the work it has done. Do you notice the wheel motors getting tired, from the extra weight in the tires? Pun not intended!
