I bought this machine a couple of months ago. I have only put about 8 hrs on it since. It has 3800 hrs on the meter. A 318 chrysler industrial powers the machine and the truck is a F850 superduty with a 537 gas and a twin stick 10 spd. I would like to find a operators and service or shop manual for it, a copy if at all possible. I dug about 12 ft deep to take out a big stump and it never missed a lick. Any info about any weaknesses or certain little quirks or trouble spots would be very helpful as i plan on giving the old girl many for hrs. Best toy i ever bought.
Also off the subject I am about to purchase a exforestry one ton 4wd chevy pickup, it has the 401 v6 and would like to do a swap. Does anyone know if anohter motor such as a smallblock would bolt to the bellhousing. I know they made it a diesel but i have heard that they were junk. Glad i found this website, another thing to burn up time that i should be out workin. lol

I see this unit is for sale on Craigslist, I wonder if a person get get any use out of something like this or would it be more headache then what it's worth?

I downloaded these pics from somewhere I can't remember any more but I've heard many stories about the 1900 I've even tried looking for videos of one digging on youtube but haven't had any luck finding one. Oh I guess it was polytrac.de lol give him the credit.
