The FORGOTTEN Skid Steer's First wash EVER! ~ "Dirty Turkey" Part 2

Описание: We PULLED this skid steer from the DEATH grip Mother Nature had on it, and now it's FINALLY time to clean it up & see what we have!! The plan today is to give this machine it's FIRST WASH EVER!!

Then we'll get setup to see what it's gonna take to bring this little beast back to life! I have a feeling it's NOT gonna be EASY!

Mother Nature has a pretty strong grip on this old beat up machine! Not to mention it lived a VERY hard LIFE, and probably DIED a difficult death! Either way, let's get it all cleaned up and then we'll figure out what to do next!

   • Rescuing a Skid Steer from Mother Nature's...  

This machine is a mid 1990's Gehl 4625SX Wheeled Skid Steer with a 4 cyl V2203 DI-E Kubota diesel engine!

When we rescued this machine from it's grave in part 1, Mike called this little skid steer a Dirty Turkey when it was stubborn & wouldn't move for us!

Since then, that name STUCK! So this little skid steer will forever be named "DIRTY TURKEY"

It's going to take a LOT to get this thing back to usable condition. and just a quick look at it, I can tell it's going to need Wheels, Tires, a new Seat, all new Lights, probably an entire rebuild on the Engine, and that's what I can tell by just looking at it!

Who knows if the engine will even turn over, or the TRUE condition of the Diesel Engine, especially since it's was used for a LONG time without any air filter at ALL!! We also don't know if the Hydraulics are any good, if the Cylinders hold pressure, if it Drives, or if it will make enough Power to do any actual Work!

In this series we will go through this machine step by step evaluating it and figuring out what's wrong with it, & what we need to do to bring the old "Dirty Turkey" back to life!

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it!
