    Convert 70's tractor to quick attach plate, use original mount?

    That would be awesome, I need to recheck but it looks like mine are 1 1/4" pins. Actually looks like 1 1/4 bottom pin, 1" top pin.

    Convert 70's tractor to quick attach plate, use original mount?

    Do you guys think this would work? It has 8" spacing but the holes aren't straight up and down like mine are

    Convert 70's tractor to quick attach plate, use original mount?

    With this loader about 95% of what I do is move round bales. It's got a good lift capacity so I'd also like to be able to lift pallets with it. The last time I tried to lift a 2000' pallet with clamp on forks is what really made the current bucket start to tear apart. I figured I'd go SSQA...

    Convert 70's tractor to quick attach plate, use original mount?

    Not a great picture but circled is a massive split in the bucket and those lines I drew are where the bucket is so thin it's collapsing also. I'm wondering about using the existing bracket because it would to be in a straight line to weld onto a SSQA adapter. Thoughts on cutting it straight?

    clamp on forks and bale spears are definitely further away when using a bucket

    Convert 70's tractor to quick attach plate, use original mount?

    I'll get a picture up, the bucket is pretty trashed. Plus I like the idea of bringing the load closer to the tractor and the increased visibility when moving round bales.

    Convert 70's tractor to quick attach plate, use original mount?

    There's a few hundred SSQA plates available online but they don't have brackets, probably because there's 1 bazillion bracket configurations. Which leads us pack to my post, cut off and weld on my original bracket or is there a pin bracket available I should weld on?

    Convert 70's tractor to quick attach plate, use original mount?

    The bucket is falling apart on my Ford 3600. I'd like to convert it to quick attach. Should I cut the mounts off my bucket and have those welded on or is there a mount piece I can buy for pins that can be welded on?

    How should this diverter valve be plumbed?

    Thanks, I'm still googling it and figuring out how it works and that seems to be the conclusion that I'm coming to. Any recommendations for a valve type? I'm thinking single spool open center like this?v 1 Spool 10 GPM Chief 220906 DA Hydraulic Valve | Directional Control Valves | Hydraulic...

    How should this diverter valve be plumbed?

    Massey 275, came with this old diverter valve on it. Right now I'm just trying to spin a bale wrapper. I ran lines as pictured below and so far I can only get the wrapper to spin one direction. I did some googling and this is what I found. "Lever back = oil pressure upper back port Lever center...

    Fasteners per pole barn header, am I thinking about this right?

    Menards 24x50 pole barn. They include a box a 60d 6" nails and don't tell you how many you need to use. I'm wanting to use Spax construction lags instead of the nails. So here's my thinking, 25lb snow load, 10lb dead weight, add in a buffer, so lets say 40lbs x 24 x 50 = 48000lbs of potential...

    metal roof install over shingle, how to flash cupola?

    Barn has an existing shingle roof and cupola. I'm going over top of the shingles with metal. Been googling it and can't find a reference on how to flash the cupola. Best I can figure is that I need to remove it, put down the metal and then reinstall it so the flashing sits on top of the new...

    This little ring coming out of the cylinder

    Alright, finally got to messing with it. It would not tap black into place with a wood block and hammer. Tried with a piece of aluminum and a hammer and it went back in pretty easily. Some water did come out as I pushed the ring in. Moved a round bale with it today and nothing seems to be any...

    This little ring coming out of the cylinder

    I've owned this tractor for quite a while and just noticed this ring slightly popping out of the loader cylinder. Do I give it a little tap or let it be since it's still working?

    Is there any hardware to slide a tube gate?

    Good eye, it is an 8' opening. Although I can put any size gate there. The 12' is probably just there because it was nearby.
