Hello, New Member
 

I am new to the forum. Several years ago, my Grandson's other Grandfather passed away. He had a 149 Hydrostat that I had worked on to keep it operational, when he was sick. After he passed away, his wife gave it to me. I plan to restore it and give it to my grandson. He was practically raised by the other grandfather. That's my plan.

Welcome to OCC.

Sounds like an excellent plan of action. Welcome to the forum.

Good plan, maybe involve the Gr son also.
Family time is important.

Hello neighbour, from BC !

After a month of digging and loading with a 149, I can say that you’ll need more on on the back eventually. Between fluid, wheel weights and rear weight, I’m at 520 pounds and a big bucket full will make it a bit tippy still on a high lift.

But the loader sure is a handy tool!!
