    Takeuchi TB68

    Just purchased a used TB68 Serial # 68770 with the planetary gears gone in one of the final drives, I'm wondering what my best options are. I read that the China replacements are a different ratio and may need modifications to hook up the hydraulic lines ? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Takeuchi TL12V2 Quick Attach

    Mornin’ ya’ll. Been messing with this machine for a little bit now, and just replaced the quick attach hydraulic cylinder due to being able to move the cylinder easily by hand and the cylinder not staying in the lock position. At first I thought the cylinder was just the problem, but now it...
