Heres a40 ton American brought back to life.It had not been used since around 2000 so when it came to us it was covered in moss and muck with a few bent things and lots of seized things.after freeing a stuck injector in the upper and fixing a hose on the power steering I got it moving.A box was stuck in 3rd ,no muffler on the 6-71 one flat rear rear driver and the throttle would stick wide open ,lots of fun to get on the lowbed.we got it back to the shop and got things working and headed off on a job doing some test piles up coast in a cold place.After that back to the shop for more cleanup and a coat of paint.I was going to use the machine the machine for parts,but it proved to be in such nice shape ill just keep it in service.Hope more work comes in.
