  1. It’s great to see the old rig brought back to full working condition

  2. I’d probably buy it and fix it, it doesn’t really look like it would need a huge amount of work to get it fully working. It seems like it just needs the solenoids checked, new tires, a bucket, and some work in the cab (key and gauges). The benefits of having it working would go even beyond having it as a showpiece since you could also use it to move things or get machines unstuck

  3. That and it could be useful for heavy lifting if a truck/tractor gets stuck in a ditch or if you need to pull an engine

  4. I’d say 3, 2 to lift the tanks up for draining and 1 to talk shit

  5. I definitely know how powerful backhoes can be. My dad has one that is nearly 50 years old and was only taken out of commission when I accidentally ran it too low on engine oil. I remember using it a few years ago to move several buckets full of oak tree pieces (somewhere around 2,000 pounds) and it had no problem doing it

  6.  @bernlew977  it would still work

  7. It seems like the 589 kept the old school look but added to it

  8. Not working

  9. I’d eventually try to fix the air in the cab, that way you can keep cool while driving blue collar if it gets really hot out

  10. He can also put the engine that he picked up with the truck into it

  11. My dad’s 1970 F750 would also make a decent restoration truck. The body is in good shape but it needs suspension work, work on the lights, and engine work

  12.  @6181green  true

  13. I’ve never had problems with my dealership, I take my Toyota 4Runner to Toyota and haven’t had any problems

  14. Funny that you’re working on one of your trucks fixed up since my dad is getting one of his fixed now too. My dad’s truck isn’t a big rig like yours, it’s an old 1987 Ford Bronco that’s in the process of getting some new tires, new wiper blades, and a new starter in order to pass inspection. we had to get new plates and a new insurance tag since the last time it was road inspected was in 2019 and the insurance tag had expired in 2018

  15. They are compensating him

  16.  @johnbcountry9568  that or they could put in a fan

  17. That and they can be used to make money

  18.  @Bruce_Wilson  I meant the ac system, if that does work then it’s it’s great (most of my dad’s trucks don’t have a working air conditioning system, only the 2015 Tundra and the 2016 F350 do)

  19.  @hughcummings9185  while I’d definitely enjoy trying out a loader, I don’t have the money

  20.  @Bruce_Wilson  maybe a weed whacker would be better

  21. I wonder if the same can be said for old ford trucks?

  22. Just imagine having to replace the hydraulic lines on a monster loader like the Komatsu 2350!

  23. It probably needs less work than the other projects that he has in order to be usable
    1
  24. And possibly for the iron giant

  25. I believe that the loader had been left on the property and was never removed from it even after the construction company had bought the land, I think that means that the loader was considered abandoned by that point since it had been sitting there for years

  26. Both can be replaced
    1
  27. Take the exhaust manifold off this scrap heap, you can probably use it on the loader

  28. Exactly

  29.  @andrewpeterson554  unlikely, those backhoes can take a beating and keep on going

  30.  @ETGcasper  i honestly wouldn’t want to wreck it

  31. And stainless doesn’t rust

  32. He definitely needs to add an air conditioner

  33. Iron giant is probably considered abandoned since it spent years on that property after the original owner sold the property to the construction company

  34.  @taz5002  he said that it’s has been dealt with

  35. Which autocar? He has 2

  36. Any update on the iron giant?

  37.  @dustyseverson402  agreed
