I have been looking for a tractor to do some work around the yard, its hard
finding a good machine for a price I can swallow. I talked to a person
selling a Leroi tractor, this machine has a bucket, plow, doozer blade and
cherry picker. It also has a jack hammer (no real use for that) the engine
is 6 cylinder, but 4 are to power the machine and the other 2 are the built
in compressor (to run a jack hammer) the price seems fair but I know nothing
of these machines and have found some info on the web but not a bunch.

We have a 1988 Leroi tow-behind compressor at work. Compair took over the
compressor line. They sent me a service manual free of charge.

The tractors haven't been made for some time, I did find a web sight with
some info, looks like its about a 43 HP machine. I am going to look at it in
the morning but it sounds like a real oddball. It comes with all the items I
want but get parts would be a real bitch, but I suppose many of the older
machines are getting harder to find parts for. Thats why we have our
machines so we can make some right??

Hows the mill?

I used a LeRoi about 40 years ago and found that operating a jack hammer was
not my life's work. The unit was excellent for the needs of the job. I
remember also that the railroads used a lot of the units on the track
maintenance end of things.

The mill's working great. That J-head you got for me was one of my best
buys. Nice to have something that's been rebuilt and doesn't become a
project itself.
