Congratulations Eldon. I can just imagine how hard these are to find.
Appears to be in good shape too.
Good Find.
Good Luck!

They look like they can really do anice job. Hopefully you get to use it and prove that they were worth their salt.
I am so jealous!

Well this one is going to need some work. It has been sitting for 10 years and the motor is seized. The good news is I didn't have to give much for it, and I have lots of WC parts around.....definitely a project.

Braved the cold today and took a few pics. Someone put power steering on this one as well as the hydraulic blade conversion.
The top pump is the ps and runs off the bottom pump.

Eldon, that should be a great project - I envy you. I keep looking as I cruise around southern New England......one of these days I'll find one at a price I can afford. I'd like to find one that is restorable so I can bash a few knuckles "doing her up".

I have the same thought as you Eldon. Mine is hydraulic and works great, but I would like to restore one with hand wheels.
