Always the case when you invest in pattern parts especially if they are not made exactly to the specifications as genuine parts🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Nice job! Being a field mechanic, it has saved my skin a 100 times keeping old parts UNTIL the job is done. To get something going again when the new parts aren't exact or wrong is a must on customer equipment. I realize this is your own and take pride in it, as i do with my projects. I think you made a fair compromise and had a good result.

Hey Fixed-ish thanks for commenting again. Do you do service calls on equipment in the field? I can’t imagine not having my full shop at my disposal.

@@MikefromMissouri yessir! Been at it 11 years and work on all kinds of different things in the field and occasionally in the shop. Worked on many case 1840 and 1845's I post quite a bit on my channel of the different stuff I fix at work and personal projects if you'd like to see. Pretty jealous of your set-up in your shop, honestly. I've got a nice work space at home but not nearly as outfitted as you. Gives me some inspiration and ideas though!

@@Fixed-ish Very Cool! I’m new to skid steers but have lots of vehicle repair experience and I am a self taught machinist. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so I knew when I bought a skid I would go overboard on fixing it so I held out on a model worth the time and effort. I plan to check out your channel. I can tell you, regarding my shop and machines, it has taken me 20 years to build up. I kept trading up when the opportunity and funds allowed. I’ve come to realize no matter how much you get someone else will always have more. I just can’t believe the equipment diesel creek gets involved with and I am so jealous of anyone with timbered acreage. I try to remind myself to be thankful for what I have.

@@MikefromMissouri his stuff is pretty good. Between him and adept ape, they are the reasons I started doing the youtube thing. It's fun documenting my trials and a good outlet for me. Lofty goal is to afford myself the ability to get into deep projects and throw some money at tooling/ refurb projects. In the meantime I figure why not document the journey?

Good news, I was offered a partial refund which I accepted. The supplier who is to stay nameless advised they will make quality improvements. Could be empty promises?
