I have recently acquired a Trojan 114 wheel loader and have been working on getting it operational. The previous owner was going to scrap it because it won't reach his tall dump body. I got to spend a couple of afternoons on it so far, checked all of the fluids, put fresh batteries in it, tried to fire it off. She ran for about 10 seconds on its own, built 50psi of oil pressure and then stalled. The starter gave way and is out for a rebuild right now.
I did some research and found out the engine is an International d282. This seems to have been a rather common engine in the 60's and 70's so hopefully I will be able to source anything I need. I am hoping to use this machine to handle trees, dig stumps and generally help me out as I get older and my shoulders hurt more.:o
Here are some pictures as she sits. It's been at this spot for 3 years. I was happy to see that all of the tires still hold air and the cab and glass are relatively in tact. I was told that it was a Coast Guard machine and was mostly used to clear snow on base in its later years. Hour meter reads 8500.
