Sorry to report that we had several WM's in the late 90's and early 2000.
One of the the happiest day's of my life is when I bought my first WM. The happiest day of my life is when I sold the last one!
The drive chain ( clutch, drive shaft, blower) always were breaking down. We replaced too many clutches, drive shafts and 1 blower.
Some of the units couldn't attain temperature and WM couldn't even fix it.
Poorly designed machines. The 1200 series drive chain, at least at the time we owned them was way under built. The drive shafts were always out of line and causing tension on both ends including the blower.
Too many clutches replaced to even count! They weren't built to take the engine temperature and the bearing's constantly burned up in the drive shafts.
Maybe they're changed over the last several yrs. But when we had them, they were horrible. Should never have left
Butler.
The
Butler truck mount is by far and away the best truck out there for performance and service bar none. If you don't need one of the big trucks
AT or V, do yourself a favor and buy the
Butler , you won't be sorry.
