Jcb 520

classifieds board Ive had this 520 JCB Telehandler since it was new.  I think it was 2004 or 2003.  At the time I had a construction company and used it almost daily moving material and such.  There has never been a more useful machine made.  I retired a few years ago and kept it to use around the farm.  Its been very useful but since it wasnt making money the maintenance has been lacking.  It needs a bit of work now and I just cant justify spending the money on it so I will sell it as-is.  If you've got someone to do the work and need a machine of this sort it will be a bargain.  It runs perfectly and with just 1500 hrs the Perkins diesel has lots of life left.  The main issues right now is a hydraulic ram leak on the tilt ram and a small one on a steering ram.  The tilt ram leak is getting worse and will likely need a seal replacement asap.  The steering ram leak is annoying since it allows the front and back wheels to get out of sync .  This just requires a quick resync, flip lever, turn wheels till together then flip lever again but it needs to be fixed.  I dont know anyone who does these seal replacements anymore.  It could also use a new operators seat and a few other small things like the exhaust pipe rewelded to the muffler.  It also will need tires soon.  They are foam filled so there is no air loss but a couple are starting to lose some rubber.  I cant think of anything else right now but will add as I go through it.  I will be fixing some of these items slowly and will note that also.  The JCB bucket pictured will also be included. It has quick connect allowing you to change from the forks to the bucket in seconds without even getting off the machine.  It cost almost 3k by itself a few years back.  Buyer should pay 10% deposit by paypal within 48 hours of purchase, remainder by bank wire before pickup is made.  I may be able to arrange delivery depending on your area at a reasonable cost.
