Ultra Weird Loader

You always get yourself into the strangest deals. Just be carefult. Thanks for taking us along

that's quite a machine . . . I think i said as much when you brought it home. At least we're a good adoptive family. . . .

She’s a peach.
Nice candidate for a quick attach plate of some sort and maybe a Klou grapple….

I ran one years ago very similar perhaps the same brand it also had forklift attachment it was a neet setup
It was also all manual not as nice as hydrostatic
Probably little late now but there should be released felt someplace for the hydrostat

😂 Well that was entertaining. When you lifted the bucket load of wood chip high in the air I thought of a 10 year old body builder; full of potential but not quite natural.
Appreciate reply to previous comment. Salt factory? Interesting. I too would definitely not appreciate lights across the lake 24/7. 
All the best.

Well, you sure like to punish yourself. I hope they paid you to take that crate away. UGH!!

That think is freaking awesome! Can't wait for the mad max rebuild!

Gotta be honest with you Spencer, I was chuckling my way through the whole video because this felt like one of my projects - in order to try to work on one thing I end up working on 10 other things so that I could eventually work on what I originally wanted to work on (multiple footwear changes included). I'm also fairly shocked that those lug nuts actually came off, I was expecting a whole other tangent video starring a torch, a big ass hammer and a cold chisel lol. Be well Spencer.

A surprisingly capable little loader, a quick attach plate would make it even better. The hardest part of fixing it is probably removing the old bearings from that axle.

Where on earth did you find that POS!

Is that going to be the new shop ornament. Goes in but never comes out. But im sure you will succeed, and it will live another day.

Spencer you have your hand's full with that loaned! It must have a valve on it To put it in tow mode I would think!

I can't wait to see the new, upcoming, paintjob on this beast. Not one of those fancy how-to paint jobs, but one of those... well, you know.

Amazing! Looks like a combination of one of those sketchy traveling carnival rides and something you would see on Battle Bots. I love it!

Thank God 🙏🙏 you have a wonderful assistant 😊.. I think a wood chipper would have been a better investment 🤔🤔🤔

What grapple do you have on the mini?

Man. That’s a lot of work for a machine that sounds like it ran out of gas. :)

With my hydrostatic riding mower there is a manual neutral lever underneath, to free roll it.
Maybe your hydro drive has markings to show the model and manufacturer so you get the manual for it, possibly giving info about how to put it in neutral in the easiest way.

They used to use these for bulk fertilizer at co-op. Now they just use bigger pay loaders when I go there.

From the looks of things, it has come to the right place. You have the tools, the ingenuity, motivation and experience to bring it back to a useful state of being. It may well have just needed to get fixed and move on. Who knows? But you're the guy

I have one like it that was built by tow motor car wrote the way for them you should have a highster attachment to go with it

👍 Always a joy to watch your videos no matter what you are doing. Interesting piece of equipment. Hope you can find replacement bearings. Looks like there are some downloadable manuals.
I like your hydraulic expandable jaw you used for the bucket⭐
I was going to ask about the car dollies, if you liked and the manufacturer. Still trying to figure what happened to the one (gravel?)
Looking forward to next video. You got this man 💯% 😎

omg i laughed so hard when that red anchor busted out... sometimes you just cant tell a weird loader to do what you want it to do... It is set in its ways and it dont gona change or move no way no sir. It's a great machine, but it needs a bit of tlc that only the spencemeister can provide at this point in time!

Is that a forklift truck ass on that

LOL, Yes there are those days and there are THOSE days....:)

At least you found a reason to use your mag drill.

It looks like that thing spent time moving fertilizer, definitely something corrosive. Almost all the small grain elevators had a machine like that when I was a kid.

Such a different forklift tractor.
My projects in a nutshell to get to the project at hand you have to do more projects. Persistence is the key.
Love it.

That was too funny, your editing style is very well done, not too dry, but makes ya think about what you're really saying. The ground anchor ordeal was classic. Thanks

when a forklift and a loader have a baby

Can I invite you to shoot an video for our shelf product?Looking forward to your reply.

Fertilizer loader.

You shut off fix those cables and well done some plates for weight on the back

New wheel bearing Assembly

need to do something about them lines hanging down so low

Operation of this loader with out a full inspection is just dangerous

The only problem with your video is too many commercials I kinda like that you wasted time energy and money this is one time you should have called a mechanic learn from him ps been there lol

Do hydrostats move without the motor running. well sort of.

I was afflicted with 2 loaders in a fertilizer plant that were cobbled Ford 8N motors, some kind of team is skin and 3/4 ton pickup rear axles,narrowed. Shameful joke!

Is it too soon to ask for an update on the chestnut plantings?

They were used often in seed and fertilizer facilities, hence the large bucket for light materials. Swinger makes an articulated loader for similar duties.

i not sure what to make of this video. after playing with machinery for some 50 years, i've found that buying "old junk" - especially if it's some "rare" or "off-brand" model - is ALWAYS more trouble than it's worth.

Looks like something you get when a forklift and a bobcat have sex.

"i need a way to load fertilizer... no i dont want a bobcat, i want something less maneuverable... do you have any machines that dont load fertilizer well but also cant be used for anything BUT loading fertilizer... $13,000? i'll take eight"

these machines were actually desigend for use in fertilizer plants i used to work ina simplot fertilizer plant we had one just like it ours was diesel.

Driving off road equipment off the road is usually the best idea.

Use concrete screws. Stronger than those anchors and removable.

I hate when my equipment runs great then you hit the road and start messing up and shuts off I think it's done on purpose lolol
