This is my first day with that 963 and also my first day on HEF, and I already found some really useful stuff. Thank you to everyone who's active on here and is answering questions and is helping out.
I did purchase new arm rest pads since the old ones are in bad shape and I found a thread here which talked about how to replace those.
But my next fix will have to be the AC and Heater. I couldn't get neither to operate.
Any pointers for what the best course of action is to troubleshoot that would be appreciated.
The machine is close to 18k hours on it, had a engine replacement in 2021. It has some rust, but not terrible. It did spend some time in Canada it looks like, and Pennsylvania as well. I'm guessing that's where that rust is coming from.
It's now located in Central Texas.
When moving, the tracks are very squeaky and I've been told that this could be an indication of dried-up pins.
Rollers, trackpads/grousers look like they are in good shape, sprockets probably could be replaced in a few hundred hours.
I will use this machine on my ranch place for clearing out trees and digging out a pond. I doubt I will put 1000 hours on it and would think that after my work is done, I would sell it again.
Thank you in advance - I'm sure I will be a source of further posts down the road.
