Keep that loader! She’s huge! Take it back to the shop and give it some TLC! Can be used around your shop and you could take that on tour! Glad to see snowman out and about! This could be a restoration project for you! Keep that thing! They are hard to come by!!!!

I think there are 2 things you could do with it.
1. Fix it up to where it’s useable
2. Buy an attacher like pallet forks and make longer forks that can pick up things like tractors

I cannot believe it started that easily after sitting 18 That was incredible it started that easily after sitting 18 years! You should definitely buy it Bruce! Give blue collar 2.0 something a little bit more heavy to haul!

Matt from Diesel Creek would dig this machine.

Definitely keep that bad boy. I ran one of those in Oregon, handling logs for a pole yard. They are awesome.

Man i missed these videos over the past couple years.. Been 3 years since I've been to Florida too
Thanks for the hard work, I really enjoy the will it start stuff!!
I can't wait to see more of this rig!!

With you standing next to the tires, I have a very good idea how large it is. Excellent video! The loader is in great shape. I'd fix it up and sell it. I worked on construction equipment and generators in the military and had a great time doing it.

Are we going to ignore the fact that when he tried to drive it he ran over his starter button he left on the back tire. lol

[Tuxedorunner]

Take her back to the shop, give it a new lease of life, some paint, tires it will be a minty video

[dave]

WOW! The old thing fired right up for you! Love seeing this type of video. Thanks for doing it.

Whenever you are looking at a used ANYTHING which needs work. NEVER let on to the seller what you think the problem is, ESPECIALLY if it is an easy fix and NEVER whip out your leatherman or whatever & fix it on the spot. CASE IN POINT- 2 mechanics went to look at an old excavator a farmer had which had broken down & left park where it broke some years earlier. The Guys looked it over & concluded they knew exactly what it need. They jumped in their truck and went to town and picked up some parts and fluids & returned and set to work. In a couple of hours they had it running so they drove it about & tested all the systems and were satisfied this was a good deal. So they told the farmer they would take it & the farmer says “ Well, boys, OK, but it going to cost you twice what I first asked” The guys were pissed. The farmer said “ That price was for an ex that did not run” The guys protested that they made it run & they paid for the parts. The farmer said “Don’t care. The ex is now a running machine & I want twice” The guys were pissed but had put over $500 into it. So they paid his price grumbling all the way and drove away with their new prize but not so good a deal.

kinda makes you wonder if that boom on the front was used to place Jersey barriers on a highway job somewhere. My first concern with a start on these things is the transmission being in neutral. I had a buddy who got run over by a tractor last year because he THOUGHT it was out of gear.... and it wasn't! Crushed his pelvis and 3 months in a wheelchair.

Good large batteries, Good torque on the starter and quick fire up. Great job.

[blueonblack]

That would be awesome advertisement. You could pick up a tractor and park it out front. I would definitely get it if the price was right. Endless things for the company and YouTube.

[jonplummer]

Unbelievable, did not expect it to fire-up like that. You know you need to buy it!

[ediemoore]

Man the wheel loader looks gnarly keep up the great content Bruce 🤙

[EdSZiomek]

Sensational! Sounds like the kill-switch killed the monster, you found it, to your benefit!

[Hazetruck]

Those Kawasaki loaders are actually good machines . I used a smaller one last week loading some topsoil. It is around a 95 to 97 model one owner . Unfortunatly it has not had the best service kept on it ever. But it has ran pretty much trouble free all this time with not many problems. The only real problems with it have been due to neglect. This could be a good buy for you.
