Old Loader DRIVES out of the BARN ~ First time in 10+ YEARS ~ Day 4 ~ 1965 Allis Chalmers 645 Loader

Today IS the day! This old Allis Chalmers has not been out of the barn in over ten years. I am ready to get this machine out of the barn, and test out the bucket and see how it works! Let's awake this old beast from its slumber.

This old loader is a 1965 Allis Chalmers TL645 Wheel Loader with an Allis Chalmers 3500 turbo charged 6 cylinder diesel engine. It has an Allison automatic transmission, and can reach speeds of 21MPH going forward! It is articulated and can make VERY tight turns, making it very nimble in tight places. It weighs about 26000 lbs or so, and it's a PERFECT sized machine for all the random things I do!

Join me on this journey as we work together to figure out what it's going to take to get this machine back up and running once again! This will be a daily account of the process showing a bit more of what is takes to properly bring this old beast back to life and make it usable once again!

This machine should be a LOT of fun!
