Mobility big dipper

[wayne Gurr]

Im in the process of rebuilding my big dipper loader. Model 286 ser . # 50644W 4x4 I sure could use a parts book? I presently have it totally striped and the frame and loader parts go for sandblasting and paint tomorrow.Ifound parts locally to rebuild the front planataries.I need info on Ross orbital motors that drive these. It appears they are obsolete.The steering drives are Charlin which I was able to find. Looking forward to your help.

Was unaware that Mobility built a hyrostatic model of their Big dipper. Well aware of of the 2 wd, Ford powered ones, most of went into service in fertilizer blend plants and were consumed by the metal moths that breed there. We had one of these 2 wd Big Dippers and it is still working on a neighboring farm. I have an older 4 wd Dipper built by DIMCO (I think) before MOBILITY bought them out.

Isold these units in canada from early 70s until 1985. The fertlizer has destroyed most. I know of a 3 speed with a ford engine that is being used in a potato warehouse that is still working fine. They also built a 3wheel drive unit that you stood up to operate. I lost all my sales lit.and service manuals when the shop burned in 1996. Everything is now at the sandblaster except the engine and drives. I sure could use a manual for assembly. There are hoses going everywhere .This one has a 4cyl. Continental.
