That is looking really good @Harry - Hard to remember what it looked like when you first started on it

Break time. Looking good Harry. Did you get the hydraulics working the way you want. Or did I miss that some how. ?

I was still having a issue with the hydraulics and decided thats a fight for another day. Harry

I pushed the little loader in the shop a week ago. I did a few improvements on it like a seat slider for driver comfort. Tried to start it and could only get it to pop. Fuel filter is full of gas, spark at plug, compression in cylinder. Still a conundrum but not willing to give up considering it ran fine when parked last fall. Harry

@Harry is it low compression issues?

I put my finger in the spark plug hole while cranking and it pushed my finger out. So the valve is not sticking. I’ll have to put a gauge on it. Harry

Harry , drain the fuel out of the carb bowl and let fresh fuel from the tank in . Try again .
Check the spark strength with an old plug with the ground tap cut off . It should be able to jump from centre to outer ring . If not , clean point and possibly replace condenser . A leaky condenser will drag down the out put voltage .
