Nice old machine. Does it have a 2 cycle GM Diesel?

Yes, it's visible in some of the pictures. It's a 284 cubic inch four cylinder. Here's another angle, under the seat.

Great!

When computers still knew their place in this world.

We put the new seals into the steering hydraulic control valve.

I found a website that advertises (some) new, used, and re manufactured parts for this machine. The plate that keeps the lower articulation pin nut from backing off is listed in the used section, mine's missing. I sent a list for parts quote, supposed to hear back within a day.

Thought we were gonna reseal the steer cylinders, but wrong packing. It came with the machine, doh! I have the right part number to order a seal kit for them. Need the bushings too, they're worn.

Got a schematic of the air brake system from Terex, we didn't have the right one before.

Just ordered the correct parts manual for this serial number, new from Sycamore Worldwide. $215 plus 26 shipping. Couldn't find a used one, really need it though.

Glad your getting it back together. It's been a long haul for you, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Plus you can now consider yourself a hydraulic mechanic.

I think the haul isn't half way over yet, still stuff to do.

Lol on being a hydraulic mechanic.

Hey, your building "sweat equity" into that old girl! Should be well worth it in the end:thumbsup:
