Ed's 77 Terex 72-41 Wheel Loader

Took this thing off to see what makes it tick, nothing is sloppy.

See how the pedal is twisted in the first pic? It just spins on there, not good when you are trying to apply the brakes. I was thinking of tack welding it.

I used this to drag logs out into the open so I can work on them. Works good, easier than dealing with the pin every time.

Glad to see you putting it to good use after all your hard work. Would love to see some videos of it in action.

A little muddy on the weekend.

So would I. My son is off to college, so I do not have a camera man. I have considered trying to set up the iPad somewhere and turn it on, then get in and drive. I see YouTube videos like that.

I have been looking for log forks/grapple, tilted the bucket to better visualize attachment points.

I use it to dump firewood into a pile, same with the limbs. I did some back blading with it before I left, but my iPad was too cold, and wouldn稚 power on to take pictures. Also moved a couple rocks out of the way.

Someone on another forum pointed out that the pin not only goes through the rod clevis and the link attached to the handle, but it also goes through the slot in the bracket. That had not occurred to me. So that is probably the problem. I ordered a longer pin and new all thread already.

Must have been quite the smart guy, took him long enough to put 2 and 2 together though ;D

I think people assumed I knew that much. I told them this did not have any linkage on it. Personally I would rather have someone snap “I knew that!”, than have things drag on because I held back something.

The manual showed it, but not very clearly. And it was not described.
