Murphy is one lurking dude. If someone ever finds him tie him up and let each one of us thrash him independently

Last high ranger two man I bought was 2850 but that was in like 2001!
They gave me a price for a new bucket for $1547.51 and labor cost will be $124.00
Not bad.

Its just OK it aint exactly cheap but you have to do it so. They labor is cheap, are you going to them or they to you?
Altec has a mobile service here. They can do anything at our yard except if the entire boom had to come off. Then we would have to go to Pomona,Ca. That is a two hour drive in a boom.
Jeff
Nice they can come out.
The are busy here, usually a two week wait.
That sucks if you dont have another truck.
Bondo, duct tape and baling wire just have no place in this biz anymore, I guess...
Well they still do it but it aint no good.
I have other trucks, plus if it was an emergency, they have a number for that also. A lot of repairs do not need to be done by them, but others do. I will not call them for a hydraulic leak or blown hose's or stuff like that. It is always a beautiful day,,,,

That seems fair. Seeing how you get so worked up about a hitch pin, how do you handle this repair with your crews?
