Back on the Ford 555 - In this video, I dive into another step of my old loader project and focus on repairing the counterweight box. This loader has seen a lot of work over the years, and the counterweight box needed some serious attention. I’ll walk through the process of diagnosing the issues, tearing into the box, and fixing it up so this machine can stay strong and keep working.

If you’re into heavy equipment repairs, loader restoration projects, or DIY fixes on old machinery, this one’s for you. Follow along as I share tips and show the challenges of working on older gear — from problem solving to hands-on repairs.
