Great set of videos.
I just gave $4700 for a running usable one. But it needs some TLC.
I'm saving your vids as info for my delve into the rabbit hole lol.
One thing mine needs and I'll have fun with is drive controls adjustment

[@wirestiresandfires214]

That seems like a hell of a deal, The drive control adjustment seems pretty straightforward as long as there's nothing wrong with the pumps and motors. Mine seems to have all the power you could want and is a real work horse. Good Luck!

What did you use for the coupler joint just grease? I just pulled the pump on mine and found the one on the motor is completely stripped

[@wirestiresandfires214]

I just used the heaviest grease I had. you can get the engine side bolt on flange for about 100 from germanbliss, Gehl part number 074210. My pump side shaft was definitely not perfect, but that is much harder and more expensive to replace. If my pump side shaft spline was ruined I think I would drill through the coupler and shaft and put a grade 8 bolt through it. It won't drill easy, but with some good drill bits and patience I think you could get by that way without replacing the entire pump.

That’s a good idea to drill out if it fails again. I’ll keep that in mind. I had my radiator weighted door break off at the hinge and need to weld back on just worried about the hydraulic fluid tank on the inside of the tank

[@wirestiresandfires214]

@@Centralrc1 It's a pretty thick tank, I'd probably just go for it, but it's also pretty easy to syphon out the tank into a few 5 gallons buckets, weld it up and put it back in. Good luck!
