Nice!! That old machine sounds like an old Continental engine, blaring away angrily, but it's twice the machine that International is.... that thing won't turn or lift the loader unless it's at full throttle!! My grandfather had an old military IH 560 Payloader, and I hated the thing!! It weighed 85,000 lbs or something ridiculous like that, but could barely lift the bucket full of dirt..... granted it held 10 yards... but, still.... It wouldn't turn, it wouldn't push, lift, or do anything you wanted it to unless it was at fulllllll throttle... and if the filters were stopped up, it wouldn't even untrack itself!! I've run several of the old IH industrial pieces, and they were pieces, alright....
Interestingly, when I was in Zanesville, OH two years ago, there was an old General hoe about that size, and what grabbed my attention, was the whole thing was rust colored, but the engine, which was a crème color... with four injection lines and an itty-bitty holset turbo.... I had to look at it, and it had new cables and hydraulic lines, looking like it had been run in the last year or so, not long after being converted to a Cummins 4BT.... The bucket had quite a few welds in it, but fairly new teeth, so I'm guessing someone locally had a grand idea....
