Adding FEL to Bolens 1502

[topbuilder]

Wondering what happens to the pressure if a branch on-does one of your couplers?

I have a TX 1500F. Looks like the same tractor as yours. I have a Brantly front end loader on my tractor and it has its own hydraulic pump driven directly off the front crank shaft. Works very well. Good speed and power to lift 900 pounds.

Sorry for digging up an old thread but wanted to post pictures of the FEL I am building for my 1502
I cut a much bigger Ford 770 loader down.
just starting the hydraulic lines now but hopefully it will be done in next couple weeks.

I look forward to your progress...

Started installing the hydraulics. Installed the hydro block and new quick disconnect hoses up to the
control valve. Next up have to modify the hard lines.

Hard lines cut down and secured with weld nuts
Now got to measure for the rest of the hoses.

Sorry for the ugly mug shot of the rider. Got my loader all finished up today and just playing around here.
Have 1 small leak at the trans cooler hose(not even loader install related) and need to swap 2 hoses around at control box because bucket goes up when it should go down and vice versa.

Looks gooder-un. :thumbsup:

Now you can build a brush fork for it.

Do you have any pictures of it?
How is it attached to the crankshaft. I removed my front PTO will I need the sleeve/spring and pin to use a front pump?
