Well it is functionally done. Need to add the angle on the straps and then paint. It moves really well and can lift the front end off the ground a few inches.

Some updated pictures. Learned a lot as this went along. Pardon the supports trying to keep it square as I add the cross support. Is it better to mount the hydraulic from the front of that or the bottom?

Got the bucket fabbed up. Hydraulics almost knocked out. This beast almost done.

Lower portion of arm on. So here's the question of the day. If I'm going to use a piece of Steel through the arm portion to act as a bushing, do I need to use anything on the uprights where the pin goes through or should I just not drill them to a larger size leave them tight to the pin diameter?

Thanks I will make it happen. The test fitting the arm seems to be moving fine straight up, down a good bit. My question is does the angle in the arm going down towards the ground seem reasonable it puts the bucket about two foot in front of the tractor. I know I can shorten the arms a couple...

Well works sucked so slow progress. Here is in progress and completed subframe. And my brother got the adapter done.

So a few minutes with the calipers and my brother is going to make me the adapters that mount at the pump. Started mock up got the cross bar put together. Tomorrow I hope to finish the subframe.

So this is what I found. But your saying use the PB port and then have a return, got it. :thumbsup: And the adapter just keeps me from cutting the steel line which I like. You guys are all a wealth of information I really appreciate it. ___ Jaxs - Yea I need a full loader to dump into...

So what your saying is split the steel line and put the valve in like add a loop? That only would require an open center valve correct? And since its a loop wouldn't require second return. Makes since. I think i can use this and not cut anything? HYDRAULIC ADAPTER - ADD A LOADER / LOG...

This is the design I'm basing it on.

So I'm looking to build a fel for my mitsubishi mt160. The biggest question I have is the feasibility of crafting this out of round pipe? I have access to oil field pipe for next to nothing. Thanks.

So my mt160 has a high low gear selector and it is stuck in high gear. I can't seem to get it out of gear. I tried lubricating the selector, tried rocking the tractor a bit. It shifts fine 1-3 and R and the 3 point works fine so I don't think its the transmission. Any Ideas?

Ok 2 questions. Assuming no cost for steel. 1. I have a 5' bush hog the top is toast the gearbox is top notch. Frame kind of sketchy as well. So is it worth rebuilding into a 4'? I figure i can cut 6 inches off each side and narrow it it down. Figure length does not matter. 2. I also have a...

Gotcha Here is what he says it is. Is there a better option? It looks like I could add the B/R to the IGN pin and that would give me the temp start for the Glow Plugs during the Start Cycle . Thanks again you're an amazing help.

This is what I got. Based on the Diagram Old Switch = New Switch Center B = Bat ( Yellow, Black) Unmarked = ST ( B/Y, R/W, and I think they added a RED extra hot line direct to starter. ) There is a B/W line and red line at the starter solenoid. -- I think this overall is wrong in some way...
