Thank you all for your help . | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 | Ok need a little more info.
Like what type of hoist you have (i.e. scissor, single cylinder multiple stage, or twin cylinder single stage? Is the bed and hoist a single unit with a sub frame or is it a direct mount?
For the most part the older stuff that you see on a stove bolt would be scissor lift on a sub frame.

You can buy all the parts new except the PTO. I don't think new PTO's can be bought for a SM420. You might check with Longhorn International there in Temple if you want to buy new parts. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | Hi.

I can get you any pictures you want or would be willing to sell what I have as I am not using it. I have an entire frame, drivetrain and hoist with all the pieces. Let em know what you need/want.
