Welcome to the Mitey Mac a.ka. Hydra-Mac club. There are several models out there.
Mine is a model 8B circa 1973.
You can look on the rear of the machine about shoulder high and you should see a factory tag. That will give you make, model and engine type.
My machine is pictured from a job earlier this summer where I was doing some stump grinding. Love this skid steer due to it 3800 pound weight. Easy to transport and easy on people's lawns as long as you do not try to imitate a Caterpillar.
The ONAN engine has a plate mounted on the engine next to the seat. That will give you engine details.
My Mitey-Mac 8B is currently in pieces. I am doing a complete refurbishment of the hydraulics plus switching out the ONAN engine to a Honda 690 from Repower Specialists.

A contact for Mitey Mac parts is John Bugge (218-684-5901 email is [email protected]). He used to work at Hydra Mac and when they closed, he purchased the shop drawings for parts. Great resource.

Can you tell me the size of the hydraulic lines? I need to replace mine

As to the size of the hydraulic lines on my 8B, I did not pay attention to the size. I inspected each hose as I took them off the machine. Any hose that looked chaffed, cracking, leaking, etc was taken to a local hydraulic shop. I had them remake any questionable hose. I also had the same shop completely overhaul each hydraulic cylinder and the control value and the pumps.

Could be an 8A or 8B. ID tag should be on right rear upright area. How many hours on the machine?
