Picked up a winter wheel loader project

[Goose IBEW]

18,000lb operating weight, early 60's Trojan wheel loader. Has a 6-53 Detroit and was ran last 2 years ago. We shall see what happens.

Wow, that is an old one. not many Trojans around anymore, especially that model. You can probably get parts, and possibly operating/repair manuals for that machine from a company with a website named Trojan Loader Parts | Loader Parts, Trojan Parts, O&K Parts, Trojan O&K Parts, Trojan O&K Loader Parts, O&K Loader Parts, Construction Parts, Construction Equipment Parts, Heavy Equipment Parts

Gotta be fun getting in and out of that cab.

Very cool, might not be too hard to repower it if the screamin detroit is tired. the way the cast iron slants above the headlights makes it look like a very angry loader.

It does have a look to it. That slant allows you to look right at the bucket. The visibility from the cab seat seems to be real good. I hope to fire it up right after Christmas with my 5 year old boy as my helper.

The hour meter does read 8500 so we will see how tough those old Jimmies are.
