Hello all! New to this site, seems to be alot of great info on here. I have a new to me Thomas skid steer project. It's a 19-something, I'm guessing 70s. The model info i found doesn't really match up with anything i can find online.It looks like a "US140" but I'm not sure if that's right. l try to post some pictures of the machine and the ID tag to see if anyone recognizes it. The only tag i can find is on the counterweight on the back. It looks to be a great machine besides having no engine, hence my need to repower. I'm thinking of going with a vanguard style 22 to 30 horse gas engine and coupling to the shaft with a Moreflex type connection to a shaft that I'll have to have machined to go into the main pump drive. This will be my first repower involving hydralics to this extent. What does everyone think? Also can anyone help me identify my new keep me busy project. I got a great deal on this little beast and I'm just wanting something for around the house mostly. Thanks in advance for all your wise answers. Jason
