Tim’s payloader and generator BS thread

@Steve NW WI I've been think you need a road grader or two.
I got a lead on 3 or 4 or 5 Galion road graders for possibly cheap. A guy at church was tellin me about a guy that had the contract to maintain county roads not for from here. He had 6 or 7 graders parked throughout the county near the jobs. I'm told they've been sitting for a few years., he has Alzheimer's and it's not likely his family will have any interest in dealing with them. I'll let ya know buddy.

Glad to hear you got er dicked Mike.
The Terex wheel loader is slowly making progress. I spent some time working on it today. I blocked up the front axle, filled the rear axle with solvent and ran the driveline up to speed to stir up any metal filings in the differential and them quickly pulled the drain plug. I refilled with clean solvent and did it a few more times. I think most all the filings have been flushed out. I've probably flushed 30 gallons of solvent through the axle. I've been recycling it so probably lost less than a quart through the process.
The parts from Germany arrived on Friday. It was then that I realized I screwed up and didn't order everything I needed. I got the rest of the parts ordered on Monday.

Knot sure I need one, I'd need Dad back to teach me how to run one.

He ran one for the township when I was a kid, thought he'd hit the big time when they got a Deere with hydraulic controls and a nice for then cab.

I cobbled this up last year. It has multiple uses, pre-lubing engines, spraying rustproofing and today spraying solvent into the axle tubes to flush the metal filings out. I should've dug this out and used it 1st. It worked really good. I put a block heater heating element in it and temp gauge for doing rustproofing. The diesel fuel and wax mixture flows good at a bout 200 degrees.

Parts finally arrived from Germany. Got the wheel loader back together.
The gobbed silicone isnt for sealing, there is an O ring that seals. The silicone will prevent the surfaces from rusting.

i always do that too Tim. i also put some hard grease in there, it wont do any thing unless the hub gets hot enough to make it runny. its just insurance. i finely got my roller back from the machine shop the other day. i let them weld it up too, fukit. 400 bucks, not too bad. it will outlast the winch im sure, heavy chunk.

I've runnin the loader a bit and checkin it over. The radiator mounts were bad. It was bouncing around pretty good. I found some nice replacement mounts from McMaster Carr for less than $10 each.
The new bucket I bought last year fits this loader but not the loader I bought it for.
I bought a HLA coupler adaptor that allows me to skid loader attachments. I found a dealer in Ontario that had one in stock. It arrived quickly. The pins in the attachment adaptor are rusted stuck from sitting.
I've been thinking of buying a plow for it and trying to rent it out this winter.

I think you should give it to me. ;)

Bought a plow for the Bobcat UTV. Can't mount it because there are bolts sheared off in the mounting holes and the front is so bent up the mounting plate can't attach.
