I have no idea how to upload a video directly to this page. And pretty sure I’m incapable of figuring out the “easy peasy” way to upload pics. This page isn’t very moble user friendly which is why I use tap-a-talk. However, I have gone and changed my privacy to “public” on my Facebook video...

It’s finished. Not sure how I can post a video here but try this link to my Facebook. I posted a little video of turning over my compost pile. https://www.facebook.com/just.josh.7/posts/10155197219980458 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All welded together and a quick spray bomb to try and keep the rust away. Next will be getting lines made and hooking up the hydraulics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Modified center tine to keep it clear of the piston. I’ll add a couple of gussets to stiffen it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had to do a little redesign in order to get the range of motion I wanted with the tines opening wide enough. This is just tacked together now. And the mounts on the outside tines will be removed. Just used them for locating the crossmember. I may modify the center tine so there are still...

Bought some steel at my local welding shop and had him cnc out the tines. One step closer. Of course I have today off from work and it’s raining. I don’t have a garage so I do all my work in the back yard.... guess I’ll work on the layout and geometry in the cellar. Sent from my iPhone...

Figured out how to mount it today and made a bracket. Only had some angle iron kicking around, so i cut it up and made what I needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, took the first step and ordered a valve today. Thought long and hard about 2 or 3 spool, and ended up ordering the 2 spool. I think I’ll be content with just the 2. One for the thumb and one for future (maybe a hydraulic top link) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good idea with the garden hose. I do plan on adding a thumb type deal. I’ve been calling it a grapple, but I plan on adding it to the top of my bucket. Much like the one you have. I think it’ll be a fun project to build one. And I think I can do it for less than half the cost of buying a...

Good point. When I actually start this project, I’ll have to find out what size fittings I currently have and try to keep it all consistent. Especially when ordering the valve and cylinder. I’d hate to order everything and have each part (existing, valve, and cylinder) different fitting...

Thanks for all the pics. It’s all starting to make more sense now. Yeah, my valve is crowded. It’s an aftermarket loader (great bend 220). So all the connections are on the loader valve and not separated 4&4 like it looks like yours are. But I still think I can mount the valve close...

This is what my valve looks like now. I could probably make a bracket and mount another valve on top. So it’s an open center valve ? Did you just go from power beyond to the pressure side of the new valve and Tee into the tank side ? My power beyond now feeds the three point hitch. I...

That’s an awesome setup. I really like it and may just go this route. But still have to figure out how to plumb it all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would you have a pic of your setup ? And maybe what valve you got ? I appreciate the reply. I’ve been reading what I can and finding different YouTube vids to watch. So many different valves and options I don’t know which style valve I need. The only thing I think i have figured out is the...

Hi everyone. I’m thinking of building a grapple for my FEL on B6200. Curious if anyone has added 3rd function/diverter/remotes on their old B. Looking for usability and cost and ease of install. Not going to lie here, I don’t know much at all about hydraulics. I do have power beyond off my...

Changed the glowplugs and put in a new indicator. Found a bad connection in the harness. All is working good now. Thanks for all the help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sooooo. Got a new indicator, installed it and tried preheating the plugs. It glowed for a half a second, then lit up and burned out. All in an instant. What would cause this to happen ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I checked the power at the GP, and nothing. Checked before the indicator and had power, so I used a piece of wire and jumped across the indicator and got power to the GP's. But then something started smoking. There's a crappy connection in the wiring harness. So I think a new indicator and...

Nothing seems to happen. No indicator and it doesn't matter how long you try and run them, it doesn't help the tractor start. I'm guessing first thing would be to see that they are getting power. (Haven't had time to mess with them). If there's power, do I have to pull the plug out to test...
