Hello folks, I just joined this site. Never had a skidsteer before and I bought this one 3 years ago at auction. Has not be ran since I bought and just now getting around to try to get it going. I was told it was used everyday until it was sold in bankruptcy auction and was told it was Hydra Mac but that is all the info I got. The rub block on the points broke off and I matched the points to Mazda, and the exhaust gasket was for 77-83 Mazda. I don't know if that is stock or if it has been repowered. I thought the exhaust pipe was too close to the hoses on the oil cooler so I revamped. Just now getting ready to start it but figured I better check all the oil levels first and have no idea where to check or what to add if low except the tank over the engine on the rear which I filled with aw32 hydraulic. Have not started it yet. Figured I better get myself educated first. The tires are 12-16.5 and it seems to be a fairly large machine even though it is old. Thanks for getting me started in the right direction.
How to identify what I have and what kinds of oils to use

Welcome to the site. Posting photos is a huge help and will help the guys here figure out your machine's make & model. You'll have to start an account with Photobucket or another site. Once you get that done read through this thread...http://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=2445... It will take some trial and error but it will be worth it in the long run. There's a wealth of knowledge on this site and rarely does does someone come up with something that no one has ever seen before.
