[QUOTE="jonesallu, post: 131149, member: 24131"] I acquired this skid steer from a friend for little to nothing. He said it ran and operated well, but smoked when it was parked 10 years ago. It's lived outside for 10 years but we'll pump some life back into it. I'll post periodically on my progress. I've narrowed it down to a 1972 to a 1976. In the beginning: [ATTACH type="full" width="342px"]5132[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="342px"]5133[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="341px"]5134[/ATTACH] Progress: [ATTACH type="full" width="343px"]5135[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="193px"]5136[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="192px"]5137[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="337px"]5140[/ATTACH] Today: [ATTACH type="full" width="335px"]5138[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="336px"]5139[/ATTACH] The bad: - Left spool valve partially seized - already have another used one - Engine gets a complete overhaul $$ (Ford V4 104 CID) - Leaking rear axle shafts - Tires, of course - Missing fourth function hydraulic lines (anyone close to South Dakota have a 1700 they are parting out?) - I will need to laser cut a few panels due to hacks and pitting The good: - Overall, pretty decent shape for the age - Stock bucket - very good shape - Stock Palm cab with Roll Guard - everything there including the door - Hour meter was working and its at about 800 hours - don't know if total or at reset - Someone reset this machine in the past and everything I've seen so far: they performed good work - I'm keeping my fingers crossed the clutch packs are good - Gear box looks great - Has the high-flow (25 gpm) pump in it - Hydraulic fluid (Dex III) looks new and there is zero sludge on the bottom of the drive chambers - I think it's Dex as the machine was only used for clearing snow by the previous owner, i.e., for very cold weather Next steps: - Replace both rear axle seals - Disassemble all the clutches and check for condition - Adjust all chains - Finish axle brakes - Button-up the drive chambers and store for awhile - too many jobs needing the hoist bay in the heated part of the shop - Gather all the parts I need to finish the drivetrain Enjoy, Al Jones Brooking, SD [/QUOTE]
