The padlock you cut off was a Corbin out of New Britain CT. The keys had a long alpha-numeric code number. I saw Dad using them in 1970-72 to lock the fuel caps on the tanks of the construction equipment. Vandals loved to pour sand and dirt in the tanks. This was while the eastern link of I-95 was being built around Washington DC.

We used to use 5500 psi pressure washers with hotsies that slid out of the side of a sprinter. They were bad ass. Made by Honda. Built like tanks. Took years of abuse daily pressure washing kitchen exhaust systems sometimes for hours on end. Just rebuild the pumps every now and then. Never had an issue with the burners/hotsies. But we would have to replace hoses. They would get bubbles eventually.

Very cool old machine. The hydraulic hose blow out reminds me of a temporary fix a buddy of mine did with a cat backhoe. The old ones had two rams on the first half of the digging arm. We blew a hose and fluid all over he put a old copper penny in the fitting at the end the pressure came from to block the fluid.we folded the boom back and drove it to the shop. You maybe could do the same with a loader in that case.I wouldn't dig that way we grabbed another machine. Great show bud
