  1.  @DieselCreek  good thing that it runs on multi fuel

  2.  @AvtomatKentucky101 you can still get the mice and wasps indoors
    11
  3.  @DieselCreek can’t wait to see the constructor back in action

  4.  @DEFiANCE665  you won’t know until you try

  5. That’s why I’d like to get my dad’s backhoe working again, the one my dad has is a mid 70’s Case 580BCK

  6. Is it possible to put power steering in?

  7.  @travisloftin169  that’s gonna make the mechanics go nuts

  8. It will probably also be useful for putting the old 50’s auto car back together

  9.  @Rorschach1024  that’s odd, my dad has a backhoe and bulldozer from the early 1970’s and 1980’s and yet I’m able to get almost all of the parts for them. The only parts that aren’t available for them anymore are either the backhoe’s engine (which can be rebuilt) or small plates (battery cover for backhoe and movement control cover for bulldozer) which can easily be made at a metal fabrication shop

  10. Especially since he can actually use it to haul stuff. He might want to consider boosting the horse power though

  11.  @rebelyank6361  my dad has an 8N that belonged to my grandfather, it’s a 50’s model and still runs

  12. Well his 80’s autocar is in pretty good shape

  13.  @usernotfound-ue7ld  yet all it needed was some shims, a new axle, rims, and possibly tires in order to be functional

  14.  @matthewtaylor3308 that was right around when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened so there was the looming threat of WWIII breaking out

  15.  @christopherweise438  same, I got my Ferris mower stuck and used my dad’s winch to get it out after using the bulldozer and chain combo to get my dad’s 2016 F-350 out of the mud (I got the 350 stuck trying to pull out the Ferris). I’ve also used an excavator with a chain to get the ride mower out (when the bulldozer wasn’t working and didn’t want to risk the truck/winch)

  16.  @ethanspaziani5269  my dad’s backhoe was like that, it was able to run and be used despite having multiple problems (one brake was gone, it had multiple leaks, and was missing the seat) until the engine started knocking
    3
  17. Same here, the trade off is that transporting a backhoe is easier than transporting an excavator since you don’t necessarily need a trailer to do it as most backhoe tractors are able to drive on road

  18. Sounds like my dad’s older generators

  19. You made out like a bandit with that deal

  20. My dad has a tractor like that one, i believe it’s also an 8N
    2
  21.  @crzy11000  same for my dad’s backhoe and bulldozer and they are both between 40 and 50 years old, not all of the parts are available but most of them are but not always cheap
    2
  22.  @BlueDually4x4  he has another autocar and it’s bigger

  23. Christine was brutal on Matt since it needed to much done
    2
  24.  @dennispalmer6007  it probably was better than it is now in some ways but climate change would’ve happened either way, it might’ve been more preventable if people listened about it earlier though
    2
  25.  @HiddenValleyHomestead  I don’t need to get either since my dad and I have both a bulldozer and skid steer, both have some issues but are good machines
    2
  26.  @dailydiesel9875  I learned it the hard way too
    2
  27.  @randomdude9269  old machines are work horses if treated well
    2
  28.  @ethanspaziani5269  sounds right. All my dad’s backhoe needs to be usable is having it’s engine rebuilt. I had accidentally ran the engine too low on oil and didn’t realize it was knocking since the machine is loud, thankfully we shut it down before it could get worse. Hopefully we will eventually rebuild the engine since getting a newer used backhoe in decent shape would cost more than rebuilding the engine would

  29.  @jackgreen412  that’s what they would’ve been used for
    2
  30. This one didn’t need a huge amount of resurrecting
    2
  31. Maybe you should add power steering to the F250
    2
  32.  @nicholas4839  The 1980’s autocar is actually roadworthy now

  33.  @crzy11000  probably

  34. Rip maple tree, you risked your life to save this machine from the creek

  35. If I had to add anything to Christine it would probably be panels and windows to completely the cab, that way the driver is protected from the weather

  36.  @johndowe7003  ok
    1
  37.  @norman7179 whereas the Mack can go both ways
    1
  38. I’d also get a roof for it, that way it can be used even if it rains
    1
  39. And possibly add an addition or two
    1
  40.  @BeachBoyAAA  there was a little internal damage because the engine wasn’t sitting right, that’s why the shim’s were needed
    1
  41. It could probably use a roof too
    1
  42. I’d add a battery powered fan
    1
  43.  @martymartin2894  yea
    1
  44.  @DieselCreek  those can be replaced
    1
  45.  @DieselCreek  would it be better to modify it to have hydraulic cylinders?
    1
  46. D8

  47.  @cooldog60  it can be
    1
  48. I can relate since I’ve had to use a dozer to solve some problems
    1
  49. It would be nice to see both of them brought back to life but this one is still great
    1
  50. I’d redo the bench seat
