Hello!
My name is Gary and I'm in the process of building a steel garage. Last weekend a contractor was suppose to drop off his Lull and was a no show! By a wild stroke of luck I found this one on Craigslist and dragged it home the next day for a very reasonable sum of cash. I'm tight for time as I'm on vacation and need to get this building up by June 7th.
I'm guessing it is 68-73 vintage based on the casting number of the Mopar 225 CID slant six. I'm assuming its a 400 or 7C based on the fact that it actually came with a sparse operators manual which I'll be uploading shortly.
I say sparse because it tells you to see control panel to see how the controls work which is a bit of a problem as the labels are all long gone or painted over!! Even the machine tags are gone, I could find nothing with identification.
Some questions-
1) How do you check the ATF for the torque converter? I see no dipstick!
2) How about the "drop transmission"?
3) Where can I find a spin on trans filter or hydraulic system filter? This poor machine has the originals!!!
4) I'm unsure what the lever does to the right of the trans forward/reverse selector. I leave it in the bottom position. I tried different spots once or twice and it seems to drop it into a very low gear but not always. I suspect the trans is low and don't want to burn anything up.
Thanks for your input! I really like this rig and I think I'll put my sons on it this summer painting it and getting it working 100% My first big piece of equipment and since it is Chrysler powered I think I'm going to keep it which makes the wife roll her eyes but agrees it is very handy to have about.
