I really want to teach myself how to work on Heavy ConsConstruction Equipment. Diesel engines, hydraulics etc. What is the best machine to start out on?

A push mower because it is simple and you will learn the basics. These principles will apply to all engines. Then move on from there. I am not being sarcastic I am being realistic. Almost all internal combustion engines work the same except two versus four stroke. If you already have the basics down dive right in, if not learn the basics then dive into whatever you feel like fixing. Experience is a great teacher. You can’t learn until you try. Good luck and happy wrenching.
