[QUOTE="Maddogsmotorsports, post: 121258, member: 22089"] I bought it August 31 2022. I immediately tried to get the engine to turn over by hand and it wouldn't budge. Went and bought a battery but soon discovered that the wiring was a kinda cobbled but what should I expect from a machine that is 50 years old? Anyway took a screw driver and jumped the starter solenoid and still wouldnt turn over. Went on the internet for several nights and researched the machine. I was starting to worry about getting parts to fix it when I stumbled on a thread in a different forum for a guy that was offering advice to someone with the same machine. The thread was like 10 years old but he had posted his email so I emailed him and he responded right away. His name is John Morris and runs a shop that specializes in older skid steers like the Ford and the Mustang machines. Super friendly guy and was happy to answer all of my questions. His email is [email]morris-inc@live.com[/email] phone number 605-290-1582 he also has several youtube videos about the FORD V4 engine [URL unfurl="true"]https://fordv4parts.myshopify.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
