Up here in New Brunswick, these loaders (Michigans) were popular as they had large snowblowers mounted on the front and the motor (seperate) sat on the back. There was a drive shaft with hangers and joints up the arms that put the power to the front.Any slack in the rear steering made it scarey ,so operators ran in reverse so they could get somewhere in a timely fashion.I will see if i can get a picture.

I just picked up a TL 14 Allis Chalmers. Runs sweet, has the full cab. Seems to be a nice little loader for my little pit.

Congrats on the new loader atgreene, I just picked up one a little smaller than yours a TL12. Great loaders they are...
We'd love to see a picture if you got one!

Theres no way that loader's engine is a two stroke (my understanding of a 2 stroke is an engine used in small applications... weed wacker, leaf blower, small snow blower). So i must be misunderstood because theres no way you could properly lubricate this engine by just mixing oil and gas. Could you enlighten me on what you mean by 2 stroke engine?

It doesn't have to do with lubrication, simply said it's about the intake, charge and exhaust cycle.
Just google "2 stroke diesel function"

Sorry, i just phrased the lubrication wrongly- its just that most engines that are two strokes (at least almost all of the gasoline ones) mix the oil with the fuel and thats how they get lubricated. I guess i just left out thinking that two stroke engines could still hold oil in the crankcase like traditional four strokes. I probably should have searched google like you suggested before i raised the question.
I may have used the wrong wording on my initial post regarding the two stroke factor. Yes the 3304 is a very high compression motor and at the time classified it a two stroke. Much like the screamming Jimmy's that detroit manufactured GM 4-71 The 71 series Detroit 2 stroke diesel is a dry liner engine which is 2 cycle. In other words every time the piston goes down it is a power stroke. 71 means 71 cubic inches per cylinder.
