I know the usual like sprocket wear ect and over all signs of excess wear. Believed under 2k hours. Says it runs good. $5k I think. Also how many parts are the same as L2s? I have been looking into it some and see different parts listed by serial number. The Ls are pretty good for parts availability aren't they? This post was edited by R Wyler at 18:07:39 03/12/13.

Cleaning fan, make sure the blades are straight across and not twisted. Check whether it has Z-slat radddle chains. It will be a short shoe model. Don't know if the 426's used the flywheel damper like the 301's, that is a wear point, and you almost need someone who's did it before to be correct. [Reply]  [No Email]

Yes the 426 uses a harmonic balancer, I couldn't get a new one, had to settle for used. Don't know if its NLA or just out of stock as it was late in the season. [Reply]  [No Email]

The bearings are the ball bearings in that collar ring? Looks like a $1000 or more to replace that assembly. [Reply]  [No Email]

I will see what I can find out and will do my best. I remember reading about short and long shoe machines I forgot about that. It's Hard to know what to do. [Reply]  [No Email]
