hi, from england . no way that will be rebuilt it will cost 3 or 4 x what you could go and buy a working machine ! and a burned machine will never be any good . but good luck

Oh man I'm sorry to say you really have no clue about what you're getting into with this project. I've got over 30 years experience fixing equipment and done a couple of insurance repairs on burned tractors that weren't that bad compared to this. you always find more than they thought even when it's still got paint and tires or tracks on it. You will find with the machine burned like that lots of the hydraulic parts will be destroyed by the heat and oil burning internally, lots of the other steel will be compromised like the structure of the safety cab and other parts. If you want a project you'd be better walking from this and cutting your loss now. Then go find a complete machine that needs some repairs Ideally you want something that doesn't have a pile of electronics/computer and emission's equipment on, with good new and used parts availability. Or just go buy a good machine for way less than you'd have in this if you did ever get it working, before it bankrupt you during or after the build with other on going problems. To be honest If I won 5 million and money was no object ,I quit work and was bored , I wouldn't buy this for a project and rebuild it. Good luck with your choice if you carry on, take care.
