Yeah it is pretty ugly. I found no cracks on the one here. Saw no hosed marked Terramite but some look pretty weathered. Exploring this machine it seems most issues are from sitting out rather than from being worked above its ability the way my old T5 was.

Got to do some honest work with mine for the first time today, love it. Dug 6 bamboo plants with the 24" bucket and loaded them for a customer. I will guess 50% better performance than the T5. But the ground was damp, will know more when I dig a few in dry ground. I had already found the U-joint coupler and as you suspected it looked like it had been passed over on grease days. But I was pleased to have it over the plastic toothed coupler that connected the engine to the pump on my old T5. Hopefully the new grease will save the joints. Are those U-joints an off the shelf part number or are they made from unobtanium?

My T6 engine appears to be bolted solid to the machine. Am I missing something about the motor mounts you mentioned? How did you recognize you had a problem?

I believe I will drill another hole to square up that go pedal, I see no reason for it to be mounted at such an odd angle and it still felt awkward today. If it doesn't seem better one could always just put it back.

Thanks Ralph, Yeah there seem to be bits of info spread around but since agjones has convinced me it's basically a T9 that helps. And I am enjoying the extra power. A more detailed wiring diagram would be nice. The one in the parts manual leaves a lot to be desired have you seen the problems mentioned with the motor mounts?

Are there different revisions of the T6? This T6 has dual FEL cylinders. It was auctioned and went for $4,300 by the way. What do you think of the price?

There must have been different versions or options. I've been understanding 2 FEL cylinders were what set the T9 apart. My opinion of the price is someone probably got a killer deal depending on the unknown issues/not diagnosed. I would have taken the gamble if it were close and I hadn't already got one in better apparent condition. Did you get it?

So many variables, hard to know if it was a deal. I got mine for 5500 work ready. It was a great deal.

I think the last year or so of the T6 had the dual cylinders.

Looks like a great deal...even if you need to sink another $2K to get it in full service it would be worth it...

I didn't get the T6 pictured from Proxibid. For $4300, even if the cylinders needed new seals I think the buyer got a good deal. What I'd like to know is if the hour meter was broken or it really only had 200 hours.

The hour meter looks to shinny and new and that machine had more than 200 hours
