I'll give you a $100 for it, right now... Wow!, nice find.
It has a bit of blow by and smoke under heavy load. Runs like a top tho. I imagine the rings are mostly toast. I will run it a bit this summer and see and plan for a winter rebuild
Congratulations, that's awesome! I've never really seen such a contraption... since it's like a cross between a bulldozer and a backhoe, could you call it a "hozer"?
New nickname, i like it
Re; running
I ran it 2 hrs today and also power washed the grime off of it. I am gonna change the oil again as there was some crud in the pan and I want to see if I can get it out. At idle just some huffing from the breather, only in top gear to I get some smoke from exhaust but it does appear to be black not blue. Will see,
I do have a battery question
It is positive ground and the negative of one terminal runs to the negative of a second battery then onto the starter, electrics etc. the first battery has the positive to ground, second= nada
Seems odd that second battery is only hooked at one terminal?
