Hidromek, baby! It's Turkish so I'll have to convert to Islam if I ever need parts. English Perkins diesel, JCB 4x4 powertrain, Italian hydraulics, idiot American operator.

Got a central lube system waiting for me to install it but predict I'll still be left with 10 on the loader, 1 on the rear hitch, and 11 underneath. Those are easy ones, at least. There are several nasty knuckle bangers recessed deep on the digger (wagglewagglewagglewaggle BAM GAHHH!!! every FUCKIN time!) I'll be glad to quit dealing with.
Falcon - Loctite has a rubber tape, non-sticky except to itself, that is the absolute shit. Ideal for wrapping around a split boot. I reckon you could run with it forever.
