While browsing through my friend's equipment yard, I stumbled upon an IH 510 loader. Instead of purchasing a new truck for our snow plow fleet, I am now considering investing in a small loader like the 510. My plan is to equip it with a 9 or 10' plow for backup during winter and use it as a loader in the summer months. I'm interested to hear about others' experiences with the IH 510. I've operated two different 510 models in the past, and both were impressive little loaders. This particular one appears to be in good condition, with a 1-1/2 yard bucket. I am also curious about the availability of parts for this model. Were they manufactured by another company and rebranded as IH? Are there any known issues with the engines or transmissions? Any insights or information on the IH 510 would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
These machines were originally manufactured by IH and later by Dresser. I am not certain if Dressta still produces them. Depending on the year, they may have either an IH or Cummins engine. Replacement parts are still easily accessible with the right resources. There is a reputable IH/Dresser/Dressta dealer in your area who is knowledgeable about these machines. Feel free to reach out for more information. From what I understand, the engines and transmissions are known for their simple yet durable design. I can inquire further with someone who was closely involved in the development and production of these machines. What is the year of the machine you are considering?
I am uncertain about the year of the vehicle as I didn't have a chance to inspect it closely. The seller mentioned that it is in good condition with minimal surface rust, appearing to be straight and clean. He believes it may be an early model, but I will gather more specific details. I am currently exploring different options and considering the best course of action.
Our 510b model at work is a reliable and durable machine that never stops performing. Its impressive longevity makes it a valuable asset in our operations.
Thank you, dgreene! I really like your name. By the way, my grandfather was D B Greene, so there's a good chance we're somehow related. It's great to connect with you! :salute
I wouldn't be surprised if I have family scattered throughout New England.
