[AT] Track loader update

[Spencer - ATIS]

Another first tonight - she fired on diesel.   Took some coaxing 
though.   It wasn't air in the system because I got plenty of smoke.   
It just took about a dozen tries before she would go.   Once again, 
chalk it up to not running for 4 years.   I'll tell you what - I don't 
know how the previous owner ever got it fired on starting fluid.   In 
fact, I'll bet he told a pretty big story.   I doubt he ever got it running.

One bad note:    No bubbles in the coolant while on gas, but I got some 
bubbles and foaming and overflow while on diesel.   I put the radiator 
cap on, and then I let it run about 10 minutes on diesel at half 
throttle while I tried the bucket and messed around with a few other 
things.   The radiator cap held the pressure, as did the radiator, 
etc.   So I am hoping this is just a very minor one-way (air into water) 
head gasket leak and not something more serious.   Further running and 
some inspections over the next few weeks will tell the tale.   I can 
move the track loader now at the very least, which is the main reason  I 
had to get this running.


Steering clutch repair is next!  Stayed tuned.
