Startin’ an old Michigan 125a loader with a screamin’ jimmy!

[@lewiscassill8918]

When I was twenty years old I got a loan at the bank and bought an 85a. Best investment I ever made.

What is the engine make model please. sound great!!!

[@Carla-tz7qw]

Ran an old Terex loader and for some reason the rear tires were smaller than the front tires. Kinda odd

[@RickySkogen]

Is that a 3 53 or a 3 71?

[@justjames9775]

That thing sounds BAD.

[@ironduke6713]

Bad as in good or bad as is bad? It was a bit sluggish because the throttle was broke but the engine is healthy

[@justjames9775]

@@ironduke6713 It sounded like it has a rod knocking. I've got a Michigan wheel dozer of about the same vintage with an 8V71 in it, and it never has sounded like that. I really like those old machines, and I'm glad to that one still functions.
