A friend of mine has a 1968 3CMK2. He's looking at putting new pins and bushes in the dipper to bucket linkage and the ram to bucket linkage, only problem is that the cost of parts has come in at £250 even with my dealer discount. Seeing as though my friend only paid £1000 for the machine i can't see its worth spending a quarter of that on 2 pins and four bushes, I was thinking it may be cheaper to replace the dipper with a less worn unit just to get by? Any advice would be great!
