The power was out for most of the day here yesterday so it was a good day for painting all of the loader sub-frame components. First coat of primer done.

You're right. Based on lots of photos I've seen of other's who have done the same thing, my guess is that it might actually be ok. But then if something breaks, I guess I'll just fix it.

Good to know

Thanks

Thanks. I cut mine with a 9" angle grinder.

You might be right, time will tell.

Thanks

You're probably right about the bolt together being easier for shipping, but with the number, size and class of bolts I've used I don't think I'll have a problem with strength. Part of the reason I made it bolt together was so that I could fit and remove it without removing the mower deck - now...

I like your sub-frame design. Nicely done. I made mine in several pieces that bolt together - I think yours looks better.

Thanks. That's the plan.

Thanks. Yes, here's some early pics of the sub-frame back to the diff housing. None of the parts are painted yet so it's a bit hard to get a good photo.

Here's some shots of the brackets that support the lower end of the tower supports - just tacked in place to the front bar at the moment, ready to be fully welded.

Do you mean the bit in the red circle ? I put the supports where they are to make sure they are clear of the front tyres. I don't remember which way it was, but on full lock and maximum articulation the tyres get close. The support brackets do go right down the back of the front bar as well as...

The original muffler had to go as it was in the way of the support frame for the front loader I'm making. I made a new square flange and welded on the exhaust tube. The thread on the old exhaust mount studs were pretty rusted. Two came out on but the other two broke off so I drilled them out...

Thanks Russell - I think I found it....eventually. I'm a bit slow at this stuff.

Thanks

Perfect - thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

G'day all When I've used the search function it appears to provide results across the entire site. If I wanted to limit the search, for example to search for 'B7200' only in the Wheels and Tires forum, is there a

Thanks again. All thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Thanks for your comments. The design of the attachment and the 2 centre uprights is a copy of pics of commercially supplied ROPS. But after standing back and looking at it in place, I also think it could use some strengthening. There are 4 threaded M12 bolt holes facing backwards on the axle...
