I bought a Wheel Horse Loader I would like to install on my yanmar F15D. I want to use a pump attached to my fan belt instead of tying into my existing system. Any suggestions on what pump to get and any information on this loader would be helpful.
I don't know how you would mount a fan belt driven hydraulic pump and if you could I don't think you could get enough oomf with a fan belt drive to turn a hydraulic pump.

Yes Winston I agree, the loader arms do send the bucket way out front, or at least the picture makes it look that way, I notice the alignment of the rear mount of the loader looks as though it would have to sit on the running boards in order to pull the tractor on up into the loader far enough,
I'm not one to be saying! being I have such a oversize loader on my tractor and all but I would be very surprised if this loader will work without having make some serious modifications first, and where is the sub frame? the part that mounts up on the bumper.
Perhaps it was removed to make it easier to pull into?
To make it fit the tractor he will have to shorten the lift and bucket arms. Easiest way would be to cut them back at the support brace and weld in new brace plates. The lift cylinders will have to drop down a little on the upright arms and the bucket cylinders will need to ride up a little higher on the top of the arms. Will also need a sub frame. Sounds like a lot of work but a welder can do that pretty easy if he does not weld himself. That would make the loader a lot more functional and let the loader lift more weight with less stress on the tractor.
Gary Sweat, I may be wrong with what I was refering to as a subframe if this is what you are calling a subframe, I was thinking more of the frame that connects and braces the loader to the front bumper, and runs along side of the tractor connecting back to the upright part of the loader, I always refered to the pix your showing as the mounting bracket/frame,
as I said I might be wrong,
