Someone watching my thread on another forum made these for me, without my asking. :cool2:

I guess it goes on here:

Yup.

I had planned on making it in a milling machine, now all I have to do is drill the mounting holes. I am thinking of making pointed studs to thread into the mounting holes on the loader. Then put the plate over the nut, and smack it with a hammer. That should transfer the hole locations nicely. I already measured with a tape measure, and wrote it down. But could be off some, all I could do is eyeball it.

Edit: That nut was loose, and the plate missing. It takes a 3-1/2” wrench.

I was in another part of the mountains over the weekend. Swung by and installed the hydraulic hose, lower radiator hose, and sprayed the wheels with Liquid Wrench. Trying to get back up and work on the brakes soon.

Had to tighten the nut a little more to get the plate to line up, then put a shortened transfer punch into one of the threaded holes and hit the plate. There is enough play in the fit over the hex that I did not try to transfer the second hole, I will do it by dimension. I brought it back home to drill.

If you haven't drilled it yet, I'd like to make a suggestion, many of those nut plates would only have one hole that lined up at a time. The other holes where so you could do 1/2 flats adjustments when tightening things up.

I have seen a drawing of the part that shows two holes, can not find that drawing anymore. It is really small in this drawing, but you can still tell there are two holes. Number 59.

Replaced the copper air line, the plumbing department at the hardware made it up for me. I do not have a flaring tool, and neither did he. So he just used a coupler, it works. I routed it different on the bottom. Not on purpose, I forgot. It is more exposed this way, but I will not be driving in tall brush anyway.

Yes it does, how many of #63 the bolt does it call for.
When our equipment gets decades old and thousands of hours on it, it can be hard to tell what the original was. It the tightening is in one flat increments there would be no need for offset holes for finer adjustments.
You know your application better then I do.
Good luck with your equipment, my oldest piece that I need to get working on is an old dynahoe 190-4.
