I looked at this machine at McGrew's last week and I've been waiting for it to come up on ebay. I believe it is an old 1430 type. It does not have quick attach, the bucket is hooked on with pins, looks pretty awkward to change implements. Of course there were no hydraulics for the guick attach. I noticed the hour meter and found it hard to believe it had so few hours for the apparent age. If it came from the militery though, that would explain it. The government buys lots of things they never use. There was a serial number tag on it, but I didn't write it down, didn't have my glasses. It really wasn't beat up & I may bid on it. McGrew is near York PA.

Does this machine have an Auxiliary PTO on it -- even without have a Quick Attach? See this picture -- there's what appears to be an Aux PTO control lever down by your right knee (the parking brake is down by the left knee).

I see the lever. I also see what looks like an aux line on the left lift arms. I can see two PTO lines and then a third line on the left. I did not see the right aux line. Boy that price so far is tempting.

I did a screen grab and zoomed in -- attached. I see that left hose, Bob, but no corresponding one on the right -- I wonder if there are two, placed one above the other....

It also seems to have a bucket level indicator -- I wonder why PT discontinued these...

KentT,
I think the 1430 still has a bucket leveler.

If the hose is missing, that's pretty easy to replace. Valving would be more difficult.

Looking at it from the other side only appears to be three hoses, also.

So, I guess it's no good and eveybody should withdraw their bids so I can get it for $0.99.

?? regarding your cropped closeup pic -- anyone want to hazard a guess what the hydraulic manifold is for that's located down low on the front of the dash/bulkhead, between the loader arm?

It has 4 (at least) hydraulic hoses on each side with some type of hose going into the center, it appears. Would appear to be splitting the circuits for the wheel motors...
