Used loader- I’ve had the mini loaders for sale now for a while and a lot of people have come to look at them and seemed very interested in buying them. Some of them wanted to trade cars, others a empty lot on the lake , one wanted to pay payments . They are great little machines and built like army tanks. The fact they are 4×4 and can lift a lot of weight compared to a small compact tractor .
I guess this very tight economy is part of the problem. the other problem is they are 30 years old . If they won’t sell I’ll continue to have fun with them. This one has a hydraulic pump seal leak. It drips quite a bit and I catch the drips and recycle it. I been reading up on you-tube how to put new seals in hydraulic pumps and it looks kinda tricky. So for now I’ll just keep recycling the dripping hydraulic fluid. that is another reason they don’t sell. The other one had a leak and I fixed it the other day . It was a loose hydraualic hose fitting way up inside and i finally made up my mind to take a afternoon and see how to fix it. I replumbed the hose and reconnected it and it hasn’t leaked since. I been wanting to hook these old forks up to the bucket on the small Waldon and this is the first time I set them in the bucket to see how to make mounting brackets.
Komatsu – I got the side stairs made this morning and worked on the first couple side railings.
Have a great Wed.
