Who can I buy M108 parts from that wont cost me an arm and a leg? Who do you prefer buying parts from?
Right now I need some simple things like seals, but I am not sure what problems I am going to run into.
I have replaced most of the hoses and modified the connectors so they will work.

Thanks,
Bruce

His M108 bed is on an early deuce. I say it could go in either category but there would be more M108 owners in the other forum,.

Forget price when looking for M108 specific items and just be happy IF you can find what you need.

I wasn't sure where to post it since there wasn't an M108 specific forum, so please feel free to move it to the deuce section.
I understand what you are saying Bruce, but still need some leads to where to buy parts.
Thanks everyone!
Bruce

I would try memphis for new parts. Hawthorne tractor or SECO for used parts.

The seals for the hydraulic cylinders will be at any good hydraulic shop. If you can get the seal or bearing part numbers off the old parts, a bearing shop will be able to match them up. And if you find a 2 outriggers, I am in need of them.

I found a place that has the 108 bed. It does not have the out riggers, but most of the other stuff. Let me know what you are looking for.

Not sure what I will need until I bring the crane on line.
The boom lift cylinder has some bad scratches and pitting in one place near the bottom so I am not sure how this is going to go. I may have to replace it if I can't polish it up.
