Can't remember the last time I had to put a wrench on the 850, it's been a while! There's getting to be a wee bit of movement on the left side of boom pivot... I don't think my mini mill is big enough to mount up the boom to bore a new hole for a bushing.

Well Joe you can't say you did not get any use out of it. If you are getting slop in the bushing you should put brass sleves in and you might get away with just reaming the holes for the sleves. I hope you don't have any trouble getting that broken rod end out just in case you forget heat that a little it probably has lock tight on it. Ed

I guess it's safe to say your not a firm believer of preventative maintenance Joe? . All started with a worn bushing that became a worn bore, stick damage and now a snapped rod...... I've worked at mine sites like that!
