Hello,
my Name is Johannes and I'm from Germany.
I recently bought a Volvo LM 218 Loader (the normal Version, not the 218td) which was stored unused in my neigbours garden for nearly 20 years. It's not running right now and i havent done any real starting attempts.
My problem is that I can't find any information for this machine on german forums or websites and that's why I'm here and asking for your help. (seems to be pretty rare here in Germany...?)
I have a little experience working with old machines, especially diesels, but this loader is new to me.
First of, is there any german or english version of the workshop or user-manual?
I can't speek swedish sadly...
But a swedish version would be helpful too, if someone has one I would be really happy to get my hands on one.
Just send me a mail or message.
Is there a special trick to bleed the air out of the fuel system? I tried it yesterday without much success...
The starter works, the engine turns good.
My neigbour said the loader was driven to it's current position and has been runnig well back then.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks,
Johannes
