[QUOTE="BobMelroe, post: 32946, member: 2763"] Well, got it home today. Luckily there was someone at the location to load it for me. He had a newer JCB telehandler (very nice machine), he just picked it up and sat it on the trailer. Didn't cost me a penny to load. I was happy. The motor rolls over, and I did get it to fire a few times, but I couldn't get it to start yet. I'll try again tomorrow. Definitely has the 411 Ford engine it. It's point ignition. Carburetor is either new, or has been rebuilt very recently. It's very shiny. There is one bad omen though. Just from cranking it over to try and start it, the cooling system builds pressure. When I crack the cap it 'poofs' a little. Could be a blown head gasket or a cracked head. I doubt it's a cracked block. No coolant in the oil though, so I guess that's a good sign. May just be a head gasket. Will know more if I can get it running. You can tell it has been on a farm, there is manure in every nook and cranny. But the hydraulic fluid looks new and there has been quite a few hydraulic lines replaced recently. There are some wires that have been cut and left hanging, and a few wires that have factory connectors, but aren't connected to anything. That will take some figuring out. So far i'm pleased with it. That could change after I get it running long enough to check the hydraulics though...... We'll see. Didn't hear back from Gehl today, so maybe tomorrow, or maybe never. I'll post more as I make progress. Right now I gotta go eat again before my blood sugar tanks for like the 4th time today [IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-7.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
