    Sorry to write a second time. My dad's contracting firm had a '60s vintage Michigan 75 non-articulating loader that I just loved (rear wheel steer). It was the coolest looking machine. It was operated by a wonderful 'good old boy' with the improbable name of Stomper Skeeter. He was a cracker jack on that loader. He would drive it across town backwards as though he were driving a caddy! I loved it so much, that I'd sneak up on that Michigan loader whenever I could and start moving some dirt around. I was just a kid, so it's lucky I didn't drive it into something. I loved the sound of that Detroit Diesel two-stroke engine too. Your loader brings back great memories, even if that Cummins motor is a four-stroke one. These 175's and 275's were used often on large diameter sewer and storm water pipeline projects.

    You are living what many consider to be the American Dream. Not getting rich in the stock market gambling casino but by adding economic value with the sweat of your brow and the cleverness of your mind. Having a big piece of land where nobody comes and tells you your lawn is too long or your mailbox needs to be painted is a big part of that dream. Anyone can do this. People should stop complaining about the corrupt system and go live their lives doing what they love because life is so short. G_d bless you for sharing your experiences with everyone and I hope you prosper on social media as some kind of recompense for the extra effort that it takes to share with others.

    The loader was a "Can't leave it there for that price" deal. Even if you never got it running and driving, it's worth that much in parts and scrap. You have the "luck of the Irish" finding these old girls at a reasonable price. Best of luck, and can't wait for more videos.

    Hi Matt, looking at the other hoses you may want to build your own. Either use reusable fittings or get a good crimping tool and buy the cheaper one time use fittings. You have enough equipment that has hydraulics that it would be cheaper in the long run to make your own hoses. A good selling point to point out to buyers when you put it up for sale.
