[AT] Michigan loader-engine questions

[Mark Greer]

I have a buddy who builds natural gas compressors and uses a lot of Waukesha
engines. He buys used ones whenever he can and rebuilds them to use on his
lease compressors so I'm sure there is a parts source out there. I know that
a lot of smaller Waukesha stuff is now sold new under the brand name Arrow.
I'll get in contact with him and see if he knows here to source these parts
for you. Are you looking for a major overhaul kit or just pistons/bearings?
BTW - I know Maibach's fairly well and do business with them-just dropped
off an order of bearings and seals tonight on my way home. They are nice
people and very helpful if they can be. They are THE source for old Oliver
stuff.

Morning members--I dont post much but do have question.  Have Michigan 75a,
with wakasha 2635 cu in that is completely used up (many years loading
manure on our dairy farm). Was told, same as Oliver 88-super 88 or 1650
(not).  Is industrial, and bearings and pistons are not available anywhere i
have checked (internet, Maibach of Sterling, in Ohio).

Do any of u have any ideas for parts?????  I am already beyond just stopping
the project $.  Yes, and next time, I will try to mate an oliver farm engine
to it.  Thanks for any and all help....I do read the posts.....and learn a
lot ....this is interesting site..

please note--most (all) of my tractors are old--------like the owner.
