Seen a tidy 06 manitou 634-120lsu for sale. Have read the horror stories regarding the 90degree box. Has anyone a video or can the noise be described, does it be noticeable at idle or only when the boom moves. Sorry only have had JCB or matbro machines..
 
Not the best of videos because it was of a different problem it had, but this was ours when the angle box was about knackered.


Its worse at idle, they normally go quite with a few revs on.

The video makes it sound alot worse than it was but thats the type of noise it is

The clocks on mani that age used to reset/fail we had a new one with a mod under warranty on an 08 machine and it just started at 0 again just to be aware. Buy on condition anyway on a machine that age

If it helps i have new 90 deg boxes to uit that machine £1350 plus vat but i'm not exporting any more only delivery to mainland UK address.

They rattle for lots of reasons, the mot common due to the design of the cooling fan belt, so even if everything else is brand new they will still rattle abit depending on belt tension.

You would have to phyically look at a machine to assess its condition you cant do it off pictures or sound.
