  • I bought this old loader for the price of the wheels, they're the same size as my grader wheels and in better condition.. Its always a gamble buying an old cheap machine like this.. Will it even start and get off the transport truck? will it make it up my 6km driveway?

    What I like about Marty's methodical approach is that he does enough to get the loader going and prevent any further damage, but doesn't going overboard with extensive repairs until he has worked out if the loader is worth saving and doesn't have a terminal illness. Another problem with going full on with repairs at an early stage is that it's easy to loss momentum when faced with multiple problems to fix, and you end up with a machine that's half pulled to pieces waiting for new parts and some spare time, but it never gets put back together. How do I know this story? Yes, gentle listener, I was that man........

    That "glow plug" is actually an intake heater. It heats up and burns fuel that is plumbed in to it and creates a small fire in the intake to heat it up. I Haven't seen one of those in 20+ years! If you weren't sure how it worked, but sure you did.

They are lucky it simply runs and does the work they want it to do. Great work, Marty! That must have been a pain, bringing the radiator back to the shop to power wash it, then take it back to the machine on the side of your long driveway.

A loader at work that requires maintenance costs money so nobody takes the time to check over it and as long as they can start it and run it for a few minutes to tidy up the yard it gets ignored.

    I've got a Hugh H50. Be sure to check the U-joints between the torque converter and the transmission. If they fail under load, it will shear off the pump shafts when the engine quickly spins up suddenly. The drivetrain parts are impossible to get, so be gentle with it! I got very lucky to find someone parting out a machine many states (US) away from me.

      Plus you're trying to point out the obvious, which is why I was making a statement to Turning Short Final. Marty's wheel loader is most likely a European brand. Just because parts are hard to get here in the states doesn't mean they're going to be as hard to get over in New Zealand.
      Everything that is European made is hard to get parts for here in the states and they're expensive. Other countries don't have the same problem. A machine just being old doesn't always mean parts are hard to get. Location is a big part of parts scarcity too.

    Ah, heavy equipment and lack of wheel alignment and poor steering... Seeing you drive up the narrow mountain road brought back stressful memories of a clapped out 1980's Case loader/backhoe I had to drive on the road: the alignment was non-existent so the thing would drift all over the place and there was something wrong with the steering hydraulics so that once in a while you'd steer and nothing would happen and you'd have to turn the wheel a bit more, and then all of a sudden it would come back and the stupid thing would veer halfway across the lane and it wouldn't steer the other way either until you oversteer and then it would veer the other way and this would happen for a few seconds and then the steering would come back.. And to make things worse, the driver side outrigger had a slow leak and would slowly drop as you were driving and I was told to just reach back and pull the control once in a while... Scariest drive I've ever had: afraid the thing would either drop an outrigger onto a passing car, drive off the road or run someone else off the road.. Told the boss to get it fixed or I wouldn't drive the thing again... He did call service, but the tech claimed he couldn't find anything wrong with either the steering or the outrigger, so I just refused to touch that thing ...

    With regards to poor cold starting. If you look at the stop control on the injector pump there is a little spring loaded device. On the IH tractors you used to pull the stop up to that plunger for a cold start. It put the pump into excess fuel mode to aid starting. The thermostart device in the inlet m,anifold needs a fuel resevoir fed from the injector return lines. When you give the device power, the element warms up, opens a valve & allows fuel to ignite on the coil. Hope that helps.

    That should be a good score and walks the line with the misses as it is not a tractor. My dad used to specialize in cooling systems as a mechanic and one simple great tool to whip up is a short pipe for water line with a 90 on the end and a cone shaped tip on end that will fit small to large hoses. Than also add a air line attachment to the pipe with thumb operated air control. That allows you to flush system and inject a little air to agitate water as it goes through system loosening crap up and basically pressure washing open any blocked passageways. Flush forwards and backwards a few times until no more crap comes out. Works great.

Doing road maintenance and yard work would be ideal for it, and loading logs into a portable mill.
