HI all,
I'm looking at a small Furukawa FL80 loader,& wondered if anyone has had experience with this model,or other Furukawas.
I know of the FL70 & 90,but never knew they made an FL80 model.

Also,who in Europe/ UK can supply Furukawa spares?
Any info or opinions are appreciated.

Jim

HI jim , is that the one on ebay? MY experance was with the 70 ,years ago IT seemed underpowered but I worked for a local council and One operator used to get put on it as punishment . HE would abuse that little machine trying to break it so he could get off it and it stood up to what he gave it . I have only ever seen two in the flesh and they where both 70's. ian.

Hi Ian,
Yes,it got sold.A good price for a good little loader.
There was a few of the FL 70s & 90s in Qld & they appear to keep going.
Well made,but parts are a problem,I think.

hi jim , seems to be a lot of the smaller ones comeing in as jap imports .I don't know if the importers are giving spare parts backup or not . been a fair few larger loaders on e bay reasonably cheap .I look and go bugger, in dammed victoria again. THE rain hopefully has left us . i told it to go down and annoy you but can't garantte it does as it's told.ian.

I have a furukawa fl70 and need parts (diff parts and thermostat housing). Isuzu engine. Looking anywhere in the world as long as they will post. Am in Australia. Jo

Hi Farmer jo ,Roy story parts and equipment At Blacksoil near ipswich has a fl70 listed for wrecking. His phone No is 0732017333 . His AD in the june Just trucks magazine said it is new in ,so hopefully he will still have most parts . Good luck with it and he has what your after .ian.

I heard that a truck diff was fitted to the FL70s.A guy told me years ago that it was an Isuzu truck diff.....I'm only saying what I heard.
A FL70 just got sold this week on ePay...
