G'day I think it looks good don't know much about 922b but what I know from my loader is they are a little bit slower than skid steer loaders but they have a lot better view point. The 922b haveing rear axle steer might take a little to get used to but not to bad.
In the photo's it doesn't look too bad? There was one out here last year that had sat for a number of years with flat tires for around $4000. Everybody got pretty excited about how good it looked. So if that one runs and is fairly tight with decent tires, it is probably a good price!
I have a 922A that is the same machine except that the A has only a few inches of axle occilation and the fenders are much closer to the tire. Air over hydraulic brakes. I love that little loader and it will work hard all day. The biggest issue with them seems to be the steering unit at the bottom of the steering shaft. Many lost the center bakelite piece out of the steering wheel and rain water got in and over time tore things up down below. This one like mine has a cab so no worries. I would not be afraid of it at all.
EDIT: On second look at the pictures I wonder why the exhaust pipe and muffler is tweaked about. May want to take a look to see if the manifold is cracked.
Thanks for the input guys. Is replacement window glass still available? Could anyone give me a quick tutorial on how to operate this thing when I go look at it. Thanks.
That 922B looks good, if it was in my area I would try it and buy it. I have had excellent results in the past using ยผโ Lexan to replace cab glass, Lexan is available in clear and several colors and shades of tinting. Lexan will become scratched over time so buy the whole sheet and you can replace panels as needed. Cover the area of the Lexan to be cut with masking tape and use a saber saw, making short cuts to avoid heating and melting the Lexan.
old-iron-habit is right, check out the exhaust manifold for problems.
True lexan is bloody expensive. You don't need the strength of Lexan for your windows. Plexiglass will work fine at 1/10 the cost. Actually they are flat windows. A portable glass guy gets pretty cheap if you do a few at a time. He can cut them out of safety glass. I've got them for as cheap as $50.00 apiece a few years ago. I don't believe glass has gone up to bad.
old-iron-habit I did not realize Lexan had become so expensive, the last sheet I bought was in 1996. I replaced the glass windows on my D6H LGP. You are right, the loader would not need the durability of Lexan.
