      My thoughts as well Mark. But what we have learned from many other rescue/restoration people so much that has been relegated to the trash heap is better than currently made tools and just needs a little TLC and maintenance.

    That property looked like Treasure Island to me. All that iron just sitting there. Most I was shocked, didn't look that rusty for just sitting there exposed to the elements. Wonder where in the country this is? Everyone on the West Coast has decided that anything and everything is either an Antique, Vintage or some such thing and demands a price that is absolutely ridiculous.
    Thanks very much for sharing. Enjoyed watching the treasure hunt, find and recovery.

If you can get this up and running, fully functional, and can give us some idea of your investment, I'll know better whether or not to attempt a similar project with a machine of similar or maybe even a little better condition.

    I had a GEHL 4625sx. It was a great running/working skid steer. Only issue I had was the valve body for the directional control wouldn't let the machine sit still at idle. Mine performed best using the foot throttle, rather then the throttle lever, as it offered better, less jerky, control of the machine. Otherwise it worked great for farm work and snow removal.
    My only true complaint was that it uses an old "cantalever" quick attach design, so finding attachments is damn near impossible. Swap it out for the later quick latch plate, bud!

The 30 hp Wisconsin was frozen and proved to have holes in the pistons. Long story short it took about 3 years to resolve all the issues. Today however it’s a good performing machine.

    What a great guy. I hope I am as spry as he is when I am that age. I had a Gehl hydracat and the two t handles were for steering and direction and the foot pedals were for the arm and the dump.

    Man I get so stoked watching where you come up with your future projects !! I love the dig it out of the weeds and trees video's !! I love places like this !! This is a mans video that's real life and a real deal !! Also you had a orange extension cord make the ride up almost all the way to loading it on the trailer it was on the back right side 😁 !! It will be AWESOME to see the videos to come for this and to hear it fire up just like "Ol Red".

      There is a small fortune in scrap steel on the property just rusting away. It should more than cover the removal cost of all that.

    Fun little project and seems rather complete. I don't care how old you are or how long you've lived, you will use a skid steer if ever the opportunity arises to score one.

    I had an amish guy tell me a trick for draggin old skid steers. Cut a cpl plastic barrels in half and put the half under each tire. She’ll follow you anywhere even up a trailer ramp. What was the web name of the chain binder comp?

    A snatch block caught off in the back corner stake pocket on the passenger side of trailer could of helped redirect the pull angle on the winch to get the skid steer lined up more in line with trailer. The harbor freight ones are very affordable and very handy
