The data plates are hard to read. I know it is a Essick 1 ton vibratory road roller. Based on an a web add I it maybe a RT30 from about 1970. The motor is single cylinder Wisconsin.
Need to figure out if it is 6V or 12V. Clean up the carb and gas tank and see if it will fire up. For sure I want to have the seat reupholstered and restore the cracked steering wheel. Debating if I want to repaint it to its original red color or leave the unrestored paint as is.
The unit has been sitting unused for 10 years. The unit had sank into the ground about 10 inches and the front roller did not turn. I dug a ramp with my little Kubota BX loader and managed to drag it up to ground level. A removable half link was unseen while the drum was in the ground. That allowed me to removed that and the chain to get it to roll. A little more work and the frozen steering started to work. Pushed it backward up the ramp onto its trailer with the BX.
Thanks for reading even if you can't help.
