Pronto M94 Powerchair

I own a Pronto M94 Powerchair http://www.scooterville.com/Invacare_Pronto_M94_Heavy_Duty_Power_Chair_%28M94%29/p/41847/c/661/ or http://www.invacare.com/cgi-bin/imhqprd/inv_catalog/prod_cat_detail.jsp?prodID=M94
I bought it used off of a "Craigslist" http://seattle.craigslist.org/ for a fair price and have owned it for almost 2 years. I modified my living space to accomodate it including a luxury bathroom. it appears to be failing slightly relating to it's turning... Everyone I have talked to at this point are acting like I cant work on it my self (BS!) and while I have found the parts catalouge and can find some parts at http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/ and got some wheels for it I remain somewhat unhappy with the pendantic movement of the chair. Dont get me worng it is moving. It is doing the job. BUT I want a bit more.
The biggest issue I have is the Van chair. Spending time in it is starting to wear on my and I have made arraingements with a local custom upholstry shop to upgreade it. However
That got me thinking that I wish I could modify one of the 55's which clearly have a better frame setup etc. I have been a metal fabricater mechanic most of my life. It does not appear that the F55 is avaliable in the USA. Is this true?
