There is nothing on that that's "rebuildable" like the add says when the fire was hot enough to melt aluminum.
It is sad to see for sure.

Sorry to see that.
They say the loader is fixable. Doubt it. I wouldn't trust ((ANYTHING)) to have retained its structural integrity. As kennyd posted, that fire was really hot. All that heap is good for is scrap value.

It's amazing how many tractors in salvage yards are burnt, many so bad you can't imagine there being anything of use left on them.

The only thing i could see MAYBE being usable on that would be the bucket its self. it wouldn't be as strong as it use to but for moving loose dirt mulch stuff like that i bet it would be fine.

The carbon steel of the FEL frame and bucket shouldn't be too much affected by the heat. It can be heated to 1300F and cooled without any adverse affects like other alloys. I doubt it would be much cheaper than buying a new one though even if the scrap was free. After replacing all the cylinders, hoses and putting on a decent paint job I would bet the cost would be similar to a new one. Buying the individual parts might be more akin to buying a car by buying all the body parts separately
