Day and night difference with the wheels and tires!..

Nice that you got it moving and steering. You could use a Walmart garden tractor battery for that tiny engine.

The old IH and HydraMac bucket attachment was unique to the brand. I would swap out the entire plate for Bobtach or Dingo. Many aftermarket plates are available. Your unit may require welding for the conversion.

My local IH dealer still has access to some new old stock parts for these old skid steers.

Check the actuator bars on the hydrostats. I am currently in the midst of rebuilding the “rear” hydrostat because the tapered shaft was broken off, then epoxy’d back on. I had to weld the shaft and machine a new keyway. Your actuator bars may be worn or like mine missing the woodruff keys. Hope this helps.

Very similar to the stand on machines sold today but way safer for the operator. Hydra-mac made pretty good machines.

Easy to weld up cracks in mufflers.

Lastly, if you are trying for a “restoration” there are skid steer junk yards all over the USA. All States Ag Parts is one.

My machine is a 4130.
