You have to take it all apart to work on anything! I had fun just changing the fan belt. I know why it never got changed, Loader pump drive got new u joints while it was out. You ended up finding enough parts except for the front end?
Only the front axle pivot parts are not available, I made my own axle pivot bushings out of bearing grade bronze. I'm going to work the backhoe next, replace the hoses, repair, or repack the cylinders, reseal the control valves, and replace any pivot pins, and bushings.

I have to rebuild my control valves. Do you think you can get parts beyond O rings?
I haven't really looked for them yet.
