[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7428716, member: 718"] Early ones were prone to rust, just like Same and Lancia or anything Italian at the time. From about '93 or'95 they all started to galvanise the sheet metal, and I believe the quality of the sheet steel improved as well, so the rust just abruptly stopped. Not on the older ones of course. Yes, the 780 and sister models were prone to break in half if well loaded with front linkage or even with a set of weights on with a heavy implement on the back. Not sure when they sorted that but I've never heard of a NH derivative out of the Jesi factory doing so. By modern standards they are swine to repair the gearboxes, should they go wrong. Not difficult, just time consuming and we all what time costs. [/QUOTE]
