My loader starter, quit working late last year, was downhill about 400 feet down a steep hill. I wanted it up at the garage to fix it, needed air tools and droplite etc. Brought two of my strongest chains and the M51A2 down and hitched it up to the front frame of the truck and pulled it backwards. The truck got as far as the spot where it got steeper and just dug ten holes with the wheels. I unhitched and brought the truck over to a dirt pile and loaded it with the excavator. Rehitched and pulled it up to the garage. It is a Case 850 all dead weight. That was a test for the dumper. What a great truck. Got the engine cleaned down, removed the starter and took it to the repair shop.Was a good day.
It was pedal to the metal going up that hill, and she pulled like a champ. Wifey was very happy to see the progress. I need that loader to finish the project. ![Cool 8) 8)](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
