Great buy should be a winner and the thing that I find terrific is your knowledge and ability to explain what's happening as you go another thing I find very refreshing is the fact you never swear at all which would make it hard for some people to believe you are an Aussie. One other thing I find a bit strange is that I never see a dog in the video's but that's ok keep up the great work looking forward to the next episode.

I was nervous when you were lifting up the cab… thought the fork was going to go through the front windscreen

Takeuchi make very high standard quality gear. Their mini excavators are really reliable if serviced regularly. That skid steer looks like a beast. I think it is a punt worth taking.

Yah man!! Your camera work is definitely better and don't loose your positive attitude.. there is ALOT of these video out there that the person has a negative out look and it just turns me from watching. You seem like a great guy and don't let broken tools get you all flustered. Great find my friend get another idea out ASAP !!<br>Can't wait to see what's lurking in that block

Look on this as 1. A learning curve 2. A challenge 3. Good YouTube content 4. A money pit 5. An expensive boat anchor 6. Not a surprise that it is beyond economical repair 7. A nightmare waiting to happen 8.A dream that it went so easy - as they say hind sight is 20-20 vision so pick one and cross your fingers. My favourite is no.8 😮😮😮🇬🇧

If you see this project through to the end, it will be a hell of a machine, it's a pre emissions beast, plus the more views for your channel is worth it, I'll definitely be staying tuned in 💯

I have the big brother Tak to yours. One big issue. The hydraulic lines pass through the chassis to get to the drives. They share a passthrough hole and it's tight. The hoses rub against each other and the edge of the hole. Pilot lines take a beating but all lines rub. Since you have the cover off outside and the pilot bracket off inside now would be the time to do a careful inspection of those lines. Believe me, it's worth the time.

We're into this one with you! Starting from such a low point will make it feel even better when the girl can be back doing work 💪🏼

The mini skid steer seems strong enough to lift the engine. But with a small iron frame and a few gravel tiles or sandbags added as a counterweight, I think you'll have more control, allowing you to reinstall the engine after the overhaul without it constantly tipping over.<br>Greetings from the Netherlands.
