If you've been hanging out with us on here for a while, you know my loader has been in the shop. I use a mid 80's era Fiat Allis FR-12 with an Iveco diesel in it to move cars around the yard. It is an older machine, but it works really well for what I need to do around the yard. I had a problem with the pulleys on my machine the last time I was using it, they weren't going around and around while the machine was running!!! This machine had an issue with the hub on the crank when I bought it about 6 years ago, but my buddy Darrin had the hub mounted solid and we were good for about 6 years. It did finally work itself back loose and it actually messed up the threads on the end of the crank this time. Our friends at Weller Tractor Salvage had the hub and they think they have the crank I need also, so they are getting that ready for us. And Yes, I will be bringing you some videos from there, row after row of big, yellow equipment, it's an awesome place!!!! Stay tuned for that! Our friends are Murphy Truck Repair are doing the work on the machine. They have a great shop with trained techs(including our friend Mike that hangs out with us on Sunday Night Chat! sometimes), so I'm confident they will get the job done! Let's check out where we are now, plus we get to see one of most awesome overhead hoists I've ever seen!!!! Let's see what's going on!
