Major Issue STOPPED me in my TRACKS! ~ Day 5 ~ 1965 Allis Chalmers 645 Loader

So I had a plan for today, but the LONG slumber this old beast just awoke from created an issue that came BLASTING out! Stick around and see if we can FINALLY get this machine to do some WORK!

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!
