mEl, I found some years ago that running amsoil ( or any good grade of full synthetic oli) in them makes them last much longer just wondering if you have ever tried that approach, I agree with you on all points to that series uni-loader, we too sold them since they came out and sold lots of 1740's to me they were (if maintained and operated correctly) were as good if not better than the current hydro even if the drive clutches were a bit of a pain to adjust, and JB as to it blowing just after you unloaded/purchased it that machine was not new nor did you know how it was taken care of the last 40 years, would you really expect a 40 year old car to run and give trouble free service? I am not putting you down or be rude just trying to make a point, as the guys pointed out the drive sheave system does require service, I found people would not pull the seat every 10 hrs or so and give them a few shots of grease, the gear box was treated the same many never checked the oil until it failed, another big one they failed to do was return the variable to low before shut down hope these small pointers help you with your new unit good luck and please do post here how you get along with repairs cnt
