FEL coming

[cleatus]

Here's the center arm cylinder mount. Welds are 6011 with 7018 to finish and will wrap pipe with strap later and add gussets to both sides of arm.

Dummy, I just don't like JI Case red/orange and I had a gal. of the rustX grape. I planed on using the grape as a base coat, but Realy like the way it looks.

Mirth. I had planed on a FEL for the Suburban with the 9.2 Wisconsin. I would of used 1.5x3" tube instead of the 2x3. Imay still do this in the future.

Are you at all concerned that this might get a bit "tippy" with those narrow front wheels?

Looks like good work so far, but I'd be really wary of a loader on a tricycle framed tractor. Those things are quite tippy without a loader.

Nice work Cleatus. I can appreciate your mock ups. No mater how much work I do on paper, I always like to test my work with a mock up when possible. Maybe I will get it right some day /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif The attachment is a drawing I made and used for my fel.

Here is a "before and after" with close to finished FEL. I have to complete the bucket linkage.

Looks good Tsquard. Ain't it fun, even with some of the frjstration.

Tippy is realitive to the common cents of the fool ,in my case. operating the equipment. I'm not overly worried as I learned a long time ago not to drive with bucket over foot off ground, unless your on leval ground. I've seen more wide front ones tipp over than I ever heard of tricycles.

You make a good point there. For someone who's not used to tractors it might be a problem, but like you say, even wide front ones go over.

True enough, I've come close with my Yanmar, and it's about 4' wide front and back, just by dropping a wheel in a hole I didn't know was there. Fortunately I only had the bucket up a foot or so. It just seems like a "triangle" would be easier to tip than a "square" with the load way out front, but you're right, on flat ground it shouldn't be a problem long as you don't hit a hole like I did..........
