A CLOSER INSPECTION

Like all machinery my skid-steer needs professional servicing from time to time. Recently I noticed the exhaust pipe was rubbing against the radiator housing; a sure sign of trouble. Yesterday Ben came over to take a look.


We flipped the cab up so he could crawl inside and check the motor and hydraulic lines.

He soon discovered that one of the motor mounts was starting to disintegrate causing the motor to shift slightly to one side. When parts shift we have a problem.

Hopefully he can get the parts and have everything installed before we get our first major dump of snow.

As Dad would say, "Always something"

Safe travels everyone and thanks for stopping by.
