Hello Gentleman,
I recently purchased a Fiat Allis 16B. I had read up on it quite a bit and understand some of the concern about parts and the cost of them but this one seemed to be a great deal and in good shape. A dealer had looked at it twice and wasn't concerned about the machine at all. I bought it for 300.00 more than he offered (7500.00). All it really needed right away was the brakes adjusted and the dealer told me how to do that.
Now for my real question. It has a lot more power in reverse than forward( based on climbing). To me, this seems like a easily solved problem but what and where to look is where I am lost. Can someone help me out here.
Also, any information about fluids (what to use, where to check/fill, etc) would be greatly appreciated. I have yet to put it to good use until I go through everything better. Heck, I don't even know where the grease goes so I would like to start out on the right foot. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
thanks
