Compliments for getting in there and working on those loaders, especially in tight quarters.
Keep on posting pics so we can fallow along 👍
Great pictures!!!!! I like seeing how different people go about working on these old Cats. Keep us posted as the work progresses and keep up the good work. Looks like it will be a nice machine when you get it done.
Great Pictures! Your wife did a good job of getting the site going again, tell hers Thanks. I have got mine running now but I have a miss in the cylinder that has the new sleeve and piston😞 OM says to try swapping pumps around as swapping injectors did not help. If you need a source for sleeves and pistons, I got mine from American Crane and Tractor parts, about $140 per set. I see now what you saying about getting the pan off without taking the loader off, you need to take the radiator off to get the tractor to pass through the loader frame. I finally did the rod work through the inspection cover using mirrors to get the cotter pins in the rods.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
