Heres what I was working on with it. The one was getting pretty soft in the middle but the other tree was solid all the way. Dam ash bore!

It’s a New Holland L-35, rated lift is 1865 but it’ll lift 2200. It’s a 1979 model that has 2 speed hydros and quick attach buckets. It was way ahead of its time back then. I just got done installing a 65hp V-465D. Originally equipped with a 38hp VG4D. We actually have 2 of them. I just bought another one for $1000 that needs a hydro seal replaced.

I want one more heavy vibe spring for mine before going long.
Others I looked at were not as spongy.
This may have had wrong springs from factory,, or operator idiot.
It is starting to run pretty good.

The left rear one above the gas tank is always the first one to blow. That’s the one I’d get the west coast “hard” spring for. I’ve broken 3 of them so far if I remember right. The other two never broke for me. Mostly my fault for breaking them though. Fatigue over time from wear and occasionally pulling on the saw when it gets stuck. I still choose to get the standard spring though cause I don’t run a longer bar than the recommended 28” on them and I don’t want more vibes.

Looks like a handy machine for the money. Would like to get my hands on a cheap one.

Yes it is quite handy, don’t hardly use a loader tractor any more unless it’s real heavy or need the lift height.
Cheap and skid loader don’t really go together I’ve found. I wouldn’t sell it for $6000 because it’d take a $15,000 later model diesel to replace it and I’m too stingy to spend that much
