They're old and junky but man they're work horses. I've had the 1990 Dresser dragging countweight pushing up leaf piles. This one's actually an International. I mis-spoke earlier. It's kind of messed up the way they are.



Says Dresser on the side yet the "hubcaps" so to speak say "ih" on them. That's not the broken loader but it's pretty similar. That loader there would be my favorite if it had an auto-leveling detent. Not that I can't level the bucket myself it's just nice to be able to pop it into the detent and not worry about it.

I was realy scared when I thought I might've wrecked the trans cause that would be a huge project. Input shaft shouldn't be too terrible.
That ain't a big deal,seems there might be a finger mashing point in there but don't remember exactly
depends a bit on the size of machine

That is one of the first transition machines,still the Hough design which was also built by IH
Normally ain't a big thing to fix the bucket levelers
The "hubcaps" are planetary covers

I don't mind crisping buns, so long as they aren't mine, and I'm the one "putting the fire" to 'em!!!

Nope. That is one of many parts that are always covered up. Burned my arms pretty bad once. lol

Cinnamon rolls are easy to burn, just like garlic bread ...they are very sensitive to how far away they are from the top/bottom heat grid.

What a gorgeous day here in Santa Cruz. It was around 65* and nothing but blue sky's. Went with my girlfriend and got the truck washed and then went for a nice drive down west cliff.



OH and I put my (new to me) bumper on my truck yesterday.



Heres the thread:
