Well 99% of parts are common with other models, hydraulic piping is easy enough to get made up locally, similarly the oil cooler can be replaced with a non-original part. The torque converter, clutch and gearbox are very robust so long as you keep the oil clean and fresh. The only pain maintenance wise is keeping the drive shaft lubricated fully- ideally this needs a good soak in gear oil annually.
She is a beauty!! Enjoy it.
Hi Dave, how do you go for parts etc if required. I’d love to get one of these models.
