[QUOTE="Petras, post: 496227, member: 216"] Meh, these little units are powered by a small gas engine that can be bought off the shelf at harbor freight for replacement... all of the hydraulic parts are manual, not much electronic on these units... I'd almost be willing to bet that a guy could go on surpluscenter.com and but all of the hydraulic controls and cylinders for replacement... it's a $5000 mini-ex... there's a reason it's only $5000. They are very basic machines. I know the run around you mention as I had to deal with it with my Kioti Tractor last spring... trying to find parts to rebuild the engine in it proved impossible(only because the cylinders aren't sleeved and nobody makes oversized pistons), so in the end a brand new $8000 engine went into it... took about 2 days to get the damned thing back together and luckily I was able to find a dealership that was nice enough to send me a copy of the shop manual for it...
