Hi folks, long time lurker, thought I might as well join after so long! So a friend of my Uncle has offered me an old machine for "free" (problem is if I say Ill take it I have to move it somehow). He heard I like restoring old equipment (which I do!) It is one awkward, overbuilt looking unit! It has a 6 cylinder Hercules Gas engine (seized tight) He figures water got in it sometime along the way, hasn't ran in 27 YEARS. The water pump blew, he removed it, had pump rebuilt, never put it back on and its sat since. 2 front tires are somehow ok, Back tires have fallen off rims, but he has 2 brand new tires (27 years old lol) to put on.
There is no info on the internet at all that I can find. Ill get some pics shortly and post them. Hydraulics and Engineering have come a long way since this thing was built, sometime in the mid '50s Im presuming.
Anyone know anything about these things? Approximate weight? Is it worth tearing into?
Thanks
