    Hi, I'm Laurajane and I am from New Zealand.I started my apprenticeship around 1970 on this kind of equipment and generator sets. A friend told me about this channel. The more I saw the more that I liked. Great job on the Clark loader. I knew them quite well. My family owned a limestone quarrie. Worked there before I went overseas. Have a masters degree in marine engineering. Retired now. This is wonderful ❤️

    Sorry to write a second time. My dad's contracting firm had a '60s vintage Michigan 75 non-articulating loader that I just loved (rear wheel steer). It was the coolest looking machine. It was operated by a wonderful 'good old boy' with the improbable name of Stomper Skeeter. He was a cracker jack on that loader. He would drive it across town backwards as though he were driving a caddy! I loved it so much, that I'd sneak up on that Michigan loader whenever I could and start moving some dirt around. I was just a kid, so it's lucky I didn't drive it into something. I loved the sound of that Detroit Diesel two-stroke engine too. Your loader brings back great memories, even if that Cummins motor is a four-stroke one. These 175's and 275's were used often on large diameter sewer and storm water pipeline projects.

    My hats off to him for poring the tranny fluid correctly at 4:04. Always keep the spout at the top side of the container. This allows air to get in so it doesn't glug, glug, glug and spill all over the place. Works with all liquids so remember this if you didn't know.

    Hi Matt, looking at the other hoses you may want to build your own. Either use reusable fittings or get a good crimping tool and buy the cheaper one time use fittings. You have enough equipment that has hydraulics that it would be cheaper in the long run to make your own hoses. A good selling point to point out to buyers when you put it up for sale.
