I have an MX80 loader with a MX headstock and have come across a euro headstock from a newer MX loader being scrapped. I know the pins on the newer loader and 5mm bigger but that could be got around with a sleeve.
I was talking to a MX dealer and he says the geometry isn't right and you will end up bending the rams if you put the newer headstock on the older loader.
Is this correct, what if you put one of them spurious headstocks on, I know the distance between the hole in the bottom of the headstock and the top were the ram connects is the same on the older and newer ones.
Am I missing something obvious, is it possible to bend the rams?
