Needs the heaqd removed,valves freed up and a rocker post repalced that cracked because the valves are siezed.Did get it to run on 2 cylinders and finaly 3. the valves on the last cylinder beat me.No more tricks left to free them up without popping off the head
 
Korean. Licence built A series Cummins I4. Branson 4520 or 5220?
5220, its cheap enough but I really want a cab with AC in it

That looks to be a cab tractor (5220C) that had the cab removed. The control console to the right of the seat was/is only used on the cab Bransons. The loader joystick location sez cab tractor too. Non-cab 20 series Bransons have the joystick on the rh fender. That ROPS mounting configuration is also specific to the cab models.

Looking at the hood, that's also an early 5220. Different grill an d such. Should be early-mid 2000's. The QA section of that auction is painful to watch. Branson is NOT a chinese mfg......

I thought I read 5530R on the side of the hood, I made a mistake earlier
 
That's weird. That model designation sounds like one of the non us market versions. Don't think Branson sold a 30 series in the US. In the Euro/UK markets they have different models as well as different model designations for models that we do have here.

However it's labeled, that is what we in the US market know as a 20 series. The 5220R, 5220H, and 5220C all actually have a 55 hp engine (and the 4520R, 4520C, and 4720H all have a 47 hp engine). Those models all have the same 4 cyl A2300 series engine, with different fueling tunes and a turbo on the 52/55hp versions.

My 4020R has basically the same A1700 I3 as the 3020 and 3520 machines, with different fueling and the addition of a turbo. They also have a 48hp rated version of that engine in the smaller 15 series (4815H and 4815R). The R models have 3 range 4 speed synchronized manuals with a synchronized F/N/R shuttle shift. The H models have 3 range hydrostats.

The Euro/UK/OZ market Bransons have different HP ratings too. There's a 60HP model in the 20 series for example.

The is a huge copper mine just north of me.
Called Highland valley Copper
You can see it from space.
They donated a haul truck to the town for display,, its still there today.
You dont see many tandem axle haul trucks.
Not sure if your interested, IDGAF tho,,

 
Senses metal. It is for the Schaeff swingloader. The loader arms are on a turret. The rear axle normally oscillates freely but that function is locked out when the turret is rotated to help with the machines capacity of the offset load.
 
@Barneyrb @Termitebuffet Anyone know anything about proximity switches? It is a Schonbuch Electronic out of Germany. It is set up to sense a piece of metal. It Ohm checks open regardless. Is it a powered sensor?

All I've ever been around 2 wire and 3 wire npn and pnp...one passes neg other passes positive..

As RD said they are just a switch, in order to get a change of state most have to have power going to them. Most of the sensors are generic and made by just a couple of companies, I'm assuming that one is operating on 12vdc and it looks about 18mm from the picture. Since the plastic sticks out past the metal it will be an "extended range" sensor and word of caution, that one is set correctly. Because of the way the sensing cone is shaped you must have the metal threads extending like in the pic, if you try to flush mount that sensor it will be made at all times.

These people may have what you need and they are very reasonable with pricing.
