545 RESCUE TO COLLECTION

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Thought I would update progress on the 545 we rescued several years ago. But I couldn't find the post, couldn't even find the pictures in my computer, truth be known the post didn't happen until now.
Summertime is not good posting time for me so some of these events get away. It's posting season now  (20 plus inches of rain).David made a 4 hour trip one way to Montague, Ca. to pick this up.
It was inoperable as you would expect, so we did our normal loading.
It was being used on a dairy and got tired.
It was pretty cooperative.
Came with a couple of buckets, both pretty rough.
So it's been sitting like this for several years. Needed tires
We thought if we could find some tires that would hold air we could at least roll it around and work on it when possible.
So we drug it out and put it on the cement where it might be easier to work on.
The tire guy is coming with 4 tires that are round,black and air proof. We have another engine if we can't rehabilitate this one.
So we currently are working on an 840B loader and a 545 and thinking about what crawler to start on for the Logging Show in March.

	That loader looks very similar to mine. It has a cracked intake tube in the transmission which pretty much requires pulling everything apart and replacing the tube and put it all back together. Glad to hear you got 20 inches of rain, that should help the ground water situation and make the grass green!

	Nice one, Mel. Looks to be in fairly nice shape--at least cosmetically. That's one of the good things about not being right on the coast like where I'm at. Things don't turn to rust overnight. Edited by ACcrazy - 26 Dec 2016 at 9:43am
