Hi guys. I just made a deal on a Ford 4500 TLB from a farmer that parked it 6 years ago and hasn't touched it since. He tells me it ran and operated well without problems prior to parking it. Now I have to get it transported to my house and get it operable again. I am looking for advice on getting it ready for transport and then what the best practice will be in getting it started.
The hauler wants me to chain the boom up tight to the tractor and I want to know if there will be any problems with the hydraulics if I just try and use a come along to move the boom and chain it up tight. Also, the stabilizers are in the down position so same question there.
I am thinking about changing out the fluids and filters, putting in a new battery and going from there. What advise can you give me?
should be a 740 FEL and the boom has evidence of once having 755 decals on it. It is also a torque converter model
