Whatever
My backhoe thread, for better or worse
Yesterday
2big bronco sent me some equipment links, so I searched "loader" and came up with this beauty 100 miles away, listed as an 1982 JD 410, ran 2 yearsb ago and parked with a hydraulic leak Some wiring since vandalised.
2250obo
this as a runner is 9-11k in my area, and they just don't come up
I offered full price and told the guy I was gonna transfer a deposit, he pulled the ad immediately, so far so good.
I jammed down this morning with fresh batteries, engine oil, 10 gal of hydro oil and distilled water.
It looked like the pics.
I triple checked all filler necks for dirt or water contamination, ie, unknown vandalism, all good to go.
I topped off engine and water, put 5 gallons of hydro oil that the seller had in the tranny/hyd system
jumped the starter solenoid and she spun nicely.
checked all fluids again, cut and twisted a jumper wire to the injection pump and she fired right up, worth the asking price.
kept adding hyd oil and cycling until I got hyd functions, which I needed for transport on a landoll
I put 12gal in the system and got hyd functions, slow, but I got em
Brake pedal drops, nothing
I was unable to get the tranny in gear, it has a reverser, hi lo, and a 4 speed box, the 4 speed box feels like a stuck fork. I'm ok with this, as long as it can be winched.
It came with operators and service manuals, I need to verify that this will roll
and I'd also like to pinpoint the trans issue
should have hauled Thursday
