Good thing, I was worried about you there for a minute :-) you got a nice machine!

If you want heat in the winter you can turn the radiator fan to pull air back at you, otherwise it blows forward. When we used to clear woods and burn, you could lift up the pile and let the fan blow air on the coals, got hot quick!

I hear what you're saying BamBam, things are much better now. The company I worked for sold their 955 and bought the first year 963. What a difference!

Run over to Buckhannon yesterday with my logger friend. DANG WINDY DAY!

UC seems very tight for a 45-50 year old machine. Stated fine without ether. Zero smoke or blowby on the engine.

Gonna have to repack the cylinders... she was too low of fluid to lift the bucket much.

Forward and reverse (with the bucket down) seemed normal without noise.

The belly pans are missing and part of the floor plate at the peddles. Gonna see if we can find a junk machine.

Also looking for manuals iffin anybody gots some.

Loading her out today. Hopefully under $9k and she will be ready to work.

Please drop a PM if anyone has parts or manuals. Thanks

Nice old loader Cash,

Did an awful lot of work with the "K"'s and the "L"'s , and the newer '53's >73's.

Go easy on her , no real hard turning, don't try to break record loading trucks.

I used to tell my guys if you ain't dumping the first bucket before the truck stops you are slow.
