Old Workhorse needs a new Loving home.

Provided it had the decelerator set up throttle will be to right on dash, with yourself seated the hand clutch controls are directly between the legs, hydraulic control; brakes are as thought left and right but right has a Orscheln style fold lever for parking brake. Center pedal is indeed a decelerator if there, for the hydraulic on the shovel lower lever for frame, upper of the two is bucket, generally all by itself and high will be ripper on mine it is 4/1 bucket.
Left side dash, kill rod, out to stop, gauges if legible are for fuel pressure, trans and clutch pressure, engine oil and temp. Trans shifter to left hand, two forward to inside slot, two reverses in outer slot.

Hydraulics tanks has a breather and a oil filter inside under the two large covers, the rear one is for shovel oil and DO NOT open the fill port while running!! Is in he flow from controls thru the filter and will make a mess. Don't ask how I know.

Engine dipstick on left rear of block, trans stick at operators left heel, oil fill for trans is under the seat and I am using 10W MFA premium trans/hydraulic. Are two strainers on the trans, a scavenge pump screen right bottom facing right truck frame, steering and trans supply is in front of case where suction tubes for steering and trans supply pumps are, four 1/2" bolts on around a 4 inch circle, and BOTH need maintenance when one is suffering.

Weight is around 22-24,000 pounds dependent on accessories as ripper, should only be seven feet wide with fifteen inch shoes and will fit a reasonably small drop deck low boy. If can't get it running block the shovel up with channel iron on the lift cylinders while lifting with another loader or tow truck and holding the loader frame control back. Down is forward, up is back, shovel bucket is forward to dump to rear to curl. Brakes will still somewhat work if in adjustment even with no power, just do not expect much. The adjusters are to the sides of the seat front cross member under large diameter caps with 3/4" hex on top at the front edge of the final case pointed up. Will need a 3/4" socket and reasonable extension to adjust, draw down snug then back off 1 full turn.

Can anyone estimate for me the bucket size from the pictures I took?   My memory isn't clear on that point.   My brain wants to say 2.5 yard, but I could be, and probably am, mistaken.

Bucket should be 1.5-2 yard, my MP bucket is 1.25 and the GP I got with my donor is 1.75. Earlier non-decelerator tractors had the throttle off the dash to the right side a few were mounted left side, earliest units had a rocker style foot pedal. Minnpar has excellent parts manual with diagrams on the prior to 24400 s/n tractors, yours should be prior to the 23003 s/n with the under hood air cleaner.

I can not remember.   It's been too long.

One battery.   Talked with my brother.

Just got an update on this, apparently the probate status of the property has been clarified such that the crawler cannot be removed, so this operation is now somewhere between postponed, or cancelled.

Thank you Dave, and everyone else who joined in.
