My New Ride


My new ride, I got it at an auction on Thursday and it was delivered today. 4 c.y. bucket to move material around the site. Seems to run well

At least it looks straight from that angle. I always like to see fresh shiney paint over beat up sheet metal.

Re: My New Ride


I did not notice any beat up sheet metal, looks to be a well cared for, or well fixed up machine. The lower cutting edge is worn pretty well, but the side edges don't look too bad.

Tires could cost a fortune and look like the first thing to do with that loader.

That's a big son of a gun, what material are you going to be moving around the site?

Don't get too close to a foundation with that heavy piece and you should be ok. Hope you got a good deal on her.

Trojans have served me well in the past.......

Re: My New Ride


I wasn't saying that loader was beat up. I was talking about your usual auction paint job.

Can you even buy parts for a Trojan? I've never heard of one.
