May we ask what you had to pay for a machine such as this?
I paid scrap valueMay we ask what you had to pay for a machine such as this?
...and apparently a place to attach the waterski rope on back.....It's way overkill but still needs the RPM limited to about 2800 RPM and a governor
He said the motor had low compressionIt's almost impossible to tell what shape the hyd's. and Hydrostatic drive pumps and motors are in. You don't want to start the engine until you are sure the pumps are full of oil and primed. The hyd's. for the loader are minor compared to hydrostat pumps and motors. Those are thousands of dollars each!
When you talked to the owner did he give you any info on the motor and why it was put in and also how the machine ran before the motor switch?
Because he probably had his Astro Van "project" in the yard and figured why the hell not.Why didn't he just fix it then? Would be a lot easier than all the work he did to put a different engine in.
The wire off the distributor there is power, but when I take the plug wire off, no spark this weekend I will pull the distributor cap off and see how the rotor looksNo spark at all with a tester? Dizzy ground? Rotor, cap, etc?
