    Did you consider a single piston for the bucket? Seems like it would be less $ and one less hose. I remember back hoes from the 60’s and 70’s with just one so it can work. Just curious.

    You designed it… will study that thread if I have to build one. How is it holding up today? I also wonder what the difference is in performance between the 1700 and 2400. Ever feel like you need more Hp? I suspect not unless mowing deep wet grass or something. Thanks for commenting

    Thats the plan. Just watch and see what might come along and remodel it if I can. They are so hard to find it’s amazing really.

    I got it just now! Better than expected for the most part. Cranks slow but the battery tested good with the load tester so will clean the connections and try again then scrutinize the starter. Idles so nicely with no blow by coming out oil fill. The diesel “knock” sound that is normal for...

    Nice build! I have seen this loader and I love the simple lines of the arms but would have to mock up the curve to see how it would work with my square old 2400. did you design yours or did you have some drawings to work from or another to measure?

    Pretty good. I was a carpenter for 15 years and have been pushing into the metal working world in the last few. Have a shop with lathe/mill/plasma/mig/tig and a whole bunch of other tools lol. It’s an addiction…. Last winter my son and I restored a 1960 Willys DJ3A that took some welding to...

    He sent me a number of videos showing exactly what I was asking to see. Inside oil fill, extended idle, cold start and it all looked good. His house address matches the image he sent me and his facebook profile has a number of things that I know of in his town so I think I did as much as...

    I agree- Im away for a week and then 2 days of crazy work so it would have been 10 days and the guy had a few others interested So I went for it. Will be worth it even if I have to make some major repairs. Nothing up here for less than $12k that is reasonable. I don’t “need” this machine as...

    I will likely build one. I like a good metal fab project and have the tools so will do if cant find one. That said, would be nice to find some parts (bucket/hydraylic parts etc).

    Agree on all fronts- I live in CT though and there is nothing under 12k here so doubt I will find one…. ROPS will get done when I get a loader set up on it. Been mowing for 5 years with green tractor with none and my land is dead flat. That said, I have never driven this tractor so dont know...
