Reusing parts after a fire, #1, the loader

That burned mini ex in the backgroung brought tears to my eyes....

This thing got very hot. No way you'd be able to just slap hoses on and give it a try. The crusty hoses still in place are an illusion. How do you burn 4 tires and the fuel tank and dash off and not get extremely hot. Cylinders would need to be completely disassembled, cleaned, evaluated and totally rebuilt. Not worth the risk and future hassles. It's either yard art now or weigh it for scrap.

The hoses look "ok" because the metal braiding in hose gives it definition, would bet outside and inside of hoses are really charred....

Where are these ok looking hoses? That thing is burnt to a crisp and there’s no ok hoses.

I didn't look for hoses. Pictures truly do not tell the story. Unless there is absolutely carnage.

In my case the tractor melted completely to the ground. All aluminum was puddled underneath. All sheet metal was distorted beyond recognition.

In this case, I'd hafta be standing by it looking at specifics to make a call.

Hoses don't look OK but didn't burn to nothing like the dash, tires and other plastic.
