My First Loader Machine I hauled today!!

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,601]

Here is the only picture I have of the loader tractor I picked up today. It is a 1973 auto 18 model 1 0610 and it came with a weight box and wheelhorse loader number 07 48BK01 4762 0053. I have to thank Will (Truckin 88) for the lead. The guy is moving out this week and needed to sell it quick and the price was very good. It has ags and wheel weights to boot !!

The engine runs and the loader operates as it should however the po told me that it began to piss hydro fluid like it did one other time whne a line broke. That happen last year and he basically parked it since then however it is a solid running machine. I will have to get it off the trailer and into the shop to have a look at it. I think I like it !!

Lucky for you I have experience rebuilding the whole hydro-drive system on those. I guess I'll be spending a bunch of time at your house!

Gonna bring my own tools though :thumbs:

Congrats on the D Steve! Looks solid. Maybe some more pics when you get more time with it? =) I really love my D and admit to sometimes going out to the WH shed just to take a look at it.

Steve, that is very nice, I think people here would piss their pants if they knew what his asking price was...If I didn't have a stupid dodge ram that needed shocks at 40K I'd have been all over it.

is the engine in that a kohler?

[whfan74 2,073]

You sure did pick up a beast of a loader!

Glad to hear you got a bargain and it sounds as though it may be an easy fix. Can't wait to see pics of you cruising around and working with it! :banghead:

Yes it has an 18hp kohler. I can't wait to get a look at it to see what the fix is.

Man thats a beast! Thats a keeper.

I just got back from Steve's home, and saw the 18 Auto up close. It's a really nice machine, and the loader looks to be in excellent condition. I'm sure Steve will have it going in no time.
