#Sponsored There’s a reason we trust @ShellRotellaT in all of our Will It Starts! Reliable, tough, and simply the best oil out there. #RunsOnRotella #Rotella
Today we’re back with another “Will It Start?” revival video, and this one was WILD. We found this old 1980s John Deere track loader sitting abandoned and completely overgrown with thorn bushes and vegetation. This machine is actually an old piece of military equipment that’s been sitting for years as part of a local municipality fleet.
After digging it out of the brush and fighting through years of neglect, we finally got this old beast running again! The engine fired up surprisingly well, but we ran into another problem… the machine wouldn’t move under its own power.
We’re thinking it may be low on hydraulic oil, but we want to hear from you guys down in the comments. If you’ve worked on old John Deere track loaders or military equipment like this, let us know what you think could be causing the issue.
These “Will It Start?” videos are some of our favorite projects to film, and we definitely need to do more of them!
What should we try to revive next?
