Rescuing an Abandoned Loader | Will it run?

[@jeremyphillips7535]

I live in the city. Do I need a loader? No. Do I want a loader after watching the video? Yes! As Sam said, it would be good for snow removal 👍

[@ScrappyIndustries]

Thanks for watching!! Who doesn’t need a loader?!?

Those older Volvos are probably one of if not the best wheel loaders ever made

[@lloydedwards8038]

Don't mean to be off but for most of my 45 years moving loads all over Continental North America was with heavy equipment and oversize loads, If I could be so brave to offer a suggestion. A lot of people will say you don't need to cover the exhaust stacks (particularly when hauling equipment backward because the have a block inside that doesn't allow the air to reach the turbo and spin it when it not running) it does not however stop rain, snow and other elements from possibly entering engine components. It is always best and safest to cover exhaust . I used to use an old inner tube piece(about 2-3 ft. folded over and use a bungy to wrap around it.

[@flick22601]

Good point and contrary to logic perhaps, a pipe opening facing away from the direction of travel will suck in all the soot and dirt you are passing it through. The pipe sets up a low pressure area at the opening.

[@user-zc6jm7vb7e]

I do like the way in which you guys all work together despite you both doing the same sort of thing, without apparent (it appears) jealously or bad language, as is the case so often on other KZbin sites. Well done

Don't fix the rip in the radiator hood, just install some flame effect led lights inside ;)

I think THIS is why that intersection was familiar! (I've never been to PA in my life) KZbin channel Lucky Banana Heavy Haul just had to back up a massive oversize load -- to enter, I think, the same ramp as you are at 3:00 -- but he had to make a left turn at the same time.

There aint much Swedish animore about Volvo . Most of the bigger excavators are mafe in South Korea at the formar Samsung Plant,some of the Smaler Machines come out of Germany and the miniExcavators come out of France,that was the formar Peljob Plant. The Loaders i think are stil produced in Sweden,but i am not 100% sure about that. Most of the Engines come out of the German Deutz Factory in wich Volvo has a big share

What a score Sam. Still has a lot of life left. Very surprised it was abandoned. Equipment is expensive. She cleaned up well and nice to see out the windows . Thank you for the trip down the turnpike. Been a long time since I drove them. A lot of fun going thru the tunnels. Lol. Cheers.

Once the amortize value runs out on capital assets, it's just and expense to companies. They often dump them at that point regardless of condition.

It’s not high hours, for a wheeled machine there is still couple 10k hours left if maintained. Apparently that machine is not.

Antifreeze in the fuel is usually injector cups on these Volvos

Keep an eye on the lift cylinder hoses if any thing gets packed on top of axle it bends the fittings and will hid bad hoses we change them all the time even packed down leaves

[@dieseldude8657]

You are right, it is a, Deutz engine. The problem with the engine not stating is the injector cups. They become porous and leak. It looks like a nice machine. Can I just say that your, Mack looks great. Thank you for sharing.

[@REDBIRD-95]

It's a beaut Clark👍 Wow, that's a nice loader and didn't take much to get her going. Usually the equipment you and Matt rescue are in a far more dilapidated condition requiring lots of effort to bring them back to life.

[@johnnyhomegrownholmgren9999]

That’s a rock solid loader! 👍 And for the first time, someone that finally finding a Volvo loader in the US, that ain’t completley trashed into pieces! That L90 got plenty of life left in it. 20k hrs on a loader here in Sweden ain’t unusual. But if you are looking for a new bucket, i would recommend Volvos grading bucket. It has a low backside and a longer bottom, and that will give you clear sight of the cutting edge.

[@juhomaki-petaja]

I agree. 20000h is nothing. Even 30000h is almost nothing to Volvoaäs and Ljungbys

[@OmeMachining]

Volvo loaders are just #1 - spent many hours in 120 and 180. Most 120C. - fantastic agile and easy to operate machine. One of ours had 28.000 hours on it. Same motor, no parts exchange or so. Very nice Swedish quality 😊💪

[@maxvanrunkle1052]

Really nice loader!! Thanks for sharing video.

[@gumelini1]

You have a switch right where your control levers are and you can forward-reverse the machine using that switch instead of using the reverser lever under the steering wheel.Its very convenient when you get used to it and your hand dont have to come of the steering wheel

[@ifyoutip]

Also, if you use the selector on the column you will be replacing it every two years. Use the rocket switch and replace it every 15 years or 23,000 hours.

The V-belt driven delivery pump sometimes leaks. You can repair it again.. the coolant will not leak, but with this type of Deutz engines the cylinder sleeves sometimes want to drop. nice machine, good luck with it. we have several. liked it well. best wishes for 2024

The fuel pump is an easy deal to overhaul. If the antifreeze is going in the fuel you should take care of that ASAP! The high pressure pumps and the injectors do not like water or antifreeze.

[@william6526]

One of the worse things you can do to an internal combustion engine is run anti freeze throuth the engine ,it will destroy the rings and liners and if its in the oil it will gall the bearing. When anti freeze gets hot in a combustion chamber it crystalizes and sticks to the liners . In oil it will coat the bearings with a film and the oil cant lube the bearings like it suppose to do. This is a very clean machine thats seems to have been taken care of and not abused . It will give you years of great service. Or if you fix the few minor problems you could sell it for a good profit with no trouble. Id concentrate on the anti freeze issue first ,it can potentially cause you the most money and grief if its let go . I turned wrenches on diesels for 50 years and anti freeze in the oil was one of my priority fixes. If some operator forgot to turn off the key and it sat until the batteries ran dead that loader could of run up a lot of hours just sitting. As good as shape its in i really dont think its got 21 thousand working hours on it. Good luck,great buy.
