1994 Volvo Wheel Loader

East Bradford Township is selling a 1994 Volvo (VME) Wheel Loader:  Specs are as follows:

 1994 Volvo VME Wheel Loader with bucket, plow and forks

• Engine VME TD 40 GA 4 cylinder diesel.
• Hours 4793.0
• 3 speed shuttle shift transmission.
• 2 stick loader bucket controls with aux.
• 1.6 yard bucket
• 42” forks
• 10’6” Holms Industries trip edge plow.  Approx. 33” tall
• Original Owners manual and parts manual included
• Spec sheet from owners manual in photos will answer questions about lift height, weights, etc.
• All glass intact
• Full ROPS cab.  Heated.  No AC. No radio.
• Machine was rehabbed in 2017, so it looks great for it’s age.

The bad:

• This is a 29 year old machine, so it has a few leaks.  The major ones have all been repaired and the loader functions as it should right now, but leaks are inevitable.
• The batteries go dead after sitting for a few days.  If you turn the master power switch off after use, it will start fine the next time you have to use it.
• The snow plow has sat for 20+ years.  We hooked it up, turned it left, turned it right and got it straight again and unhooked it.  So it works right now.  The trip edge is rusted and the cutting edges will need replaced.
