Skid Steer New Holland LX485 project

This is a New Holland LX 485 skid that I started rebuilding. I took it right down to the chassis and cleaned all the mud and grease from inside. I replaced a number of the rubber and steel lines in the chassis going to the pump and main valve.

It originally had a 3 cylinder Shibaura diesel in it but that's long gone The guy I bought it off had a 4 cylinder Kubota diesel that he was going to put into it that I mated to the hydrastatic drive. It's in there all bolted down but not wired. Because it's a different engine the exhaust manifold /muffler will have to be reworked to clear the Hydraulic tank. That and a little cutting on the radiator shroud makes it fit.

It has new 10X16 tires and rims and a spare wheel. The radiator is in fair shape. I figured I'd put it in and try it before I bought a new one. I have all new filters and five gallons of hydraulic oil.

The boom is on and locked in the service position. The hydraulic lines don't look bad so I figured I use them before starting to replace them. I'm at the point where I'm starting the wiring. The service panel along with a bunch of wiring was in bad shape so I decided to make my own (they wanted a bundle for a new one).

I have five gauges, fuel, oil pressure, amps, transmission oil temp and water temp. I was going to do a straight forward job, fuse each circuit and also the starter and alternator. I'm going to install a switch for the safety lock out and service positions. There is no universal adapter with the machine but I do have a bucket. As I mentioned the engine is in place. The throttle cable needs to be installed it's there, just needs to be coupled. I have cranked the engine but have not tried to start it because I don't want to run the hydraulic pump dry. I have paint (yellow and gray) and all the decals for it.

I have decided to sell it as is because I recently picked up a Gehl skid steer with a backhoe attachment with it. I really like the machine. It runs well and operates easy with hand controls.
