Great looking Jeep. Son and I rebuilt a1955 M38-A1.

Building my shop now. Metal building as well. Slow going but shell is up. Build out inside next.

Nice job on the jeep . Those were a tuff piece of equipment . I drove that model and the earlier models as well . In the 40's some for farming was available .

Wife questioned my need for an excavator

today, she was enlightened
(And still somehow doubts my decision)

 

[EddieWalker]

There is a big advantage to having tires instead of tracks!!!

 

[plastikosmd]

Frankly I’m loving it thus far

I’m not digging off road a lot just property and trail maintenance so it seems to be working well
Next to add forks

Little 3320/300cx never lets me down

I know others have boasted about the lift capacity of this combination relative to its size.

house needed a beam for some additional support from Father Time

20’ span of (3)lvl 1.5x11 7/8” and 2 pieces of 1/2” plate of same size






Defiantly not the most this machine has lifted, it was only around 1300lb 2’ +/- out on forks. The span is a bit wider than my typical project tho, no trouble fetching it off driveway and maneuvering it around house/septic/walkways to get it in place

How did you get that heavy thing up to height?

I calculated just the steel at about 835 lbs with the dimensions you gave. Heavy!

good thing there was a backhoe on the rear, fully extended 1300# looks to be the end of loader's capacity
all's well that ends well, fine use for a tractor
and that's a fine trash can hauler too!

another thought...would have liked to have seen your front tires with all that weight on them. Those R4s are tough but sometimes hard to tell how much air
is in them. Vs radials which always look low on air... I'm guessing you went very very slowly.

 

[plastikosmd]

Slow and steady
Loader didn’t even grunt taking off truck and manipulating. I was more worried about bumps and lever arm of the 8’ to each side of forks.

my experience mirrors this thread on this forum, definitely punches above its weight class.

3320 / 300CX Lift Capacity - Example

This morning I went to Home Depot to pick up a skid of floor tile. There were 40 boxes of tile, plastic wrapped and tie wrapped on the skid. According to the electronic scale on the lift total weight was 2,050 lbs. This was substantially more than originally estimated. They set the load...

Kyle, we caught it inside on a rolling lift and some temporary supports and slid it into place then some jacking

now just dealing with the cleanup

 

[plastikosmd]

Good thought on tires, I haven’t added/checked air in the 10 years or so of owning, will put a pressure gauge on them

they flatten a bit moving some of the big oaks onto the sawmill. The ones over 28-30” do hit the relief on the loader

Well winter seems to have resulted in a dead mower ( generally I use a flail, but do my edging w this)
Seems electrical

Ranger to the rescue and into the shop

 

[Code54]

Ugh - perhaps a mouse snacked on a wire. Good luck getting it up and running.

 

[EddieWalker]

I feel your pain. The beginning of mowing season is also the beginning of fixing the mower season!!!

 

[plastikosmd]

It randomly cut off after 5 min of mowing

fuel flow was good, seemed electrical
Would restart instantly

after 3 x in 100 yards, lost the click of the solenoid on starter

Hammer brought that back and starter would now “click”

jumpbox didn’t prove that it was a weak battery so into the shop

So, at least a starter issue for one and then something preceding that causing it to die. It seemed “coil like” but coil

ugh, I hate black magic electricity

I can get it going again I’ll put one of the spark tester’s on it and see what kind of spark I’m getting on a dies

 

[EddieWalker]

Mine is currently blowing 20 amp fuses while mowing. I can get half an hour, or sometimes a full hour before blowing a fuse. I put in another fuse and it lasts about the same amount of time. I carry half a dozen of them in my shirt pocket every time I mow!!!

 

[plastikosmd]

Ack!

I’m not sure if I wish I had your problem or my random one lol
