I bought an all-hydraulic replacement for this system today. It was at

glad you can find parts.

i have an old hyster, no parts available. When it breaks, its scrap.

Got a DEAL on an international backhoe. Found out i couldn't get parts
so i sent it on down the road before i got caught with it.

I'm surprised you can get anything for a tow motor.

A lot of their parts were "generic" or sourced from another standard
manufacturer. It was an "assembled" machine with virtually all of the
mechanicals sourced from other manufacturers and only the "Heavies"
actually made by "tow-motor"

Unlike Hyster and International and other "integrated" manufacturers
who made virtually every bolt and nut.
