Great looking machine!! Did you design the loader yourself? Man I wish my welds looked that good!

 

[cranker]

thanks guys.

Chevy, yeah i linda designed on the fly. i have an idea how i want it to look in my head and just kind of ran with it..

 

[chevy292]

Well that's some pretty awesome designing on the fly! Good for you man, I'm fairly hand building things but I don't think I would dare undertake such a project.

cool project Cranker. I love that 9 inch, I'm a big fan of those rear ends. I have one in my rock crawler.

Very nice work . One suggestion and maybe you will add it later is to add some gussets to the FEL and also tie the vertical towers into the rear axle area to add some longitudinal bracing to prevent stress when pushing things with the loader.

Lookin' good cranker. I sure admire your welding skill.

I'm always amused the way TBNers are looking at the other guys's tools in the background of photos. I swear you could post a picture of a bikini clad young lady and everyone would go gaga over the tools behind her.

Thats because most of us know the cost of a divorce. Like my friend says " I'd sooner have a hamburger ". If it's not the cost of divorce it would be the maintenance fees

Thanks everyone.

Diamond, there will be alot more bracing including some plating on the fel arms....

Core, Yeah the nine inch is a great diff. Great strength and a ton of support for it...

Thanks Crank
