Kennyd it’s your fault, and that’s my story

Re: Kennyd it’s your fault, and that’s my story

Yes I could use that Mike, But it is just not on the HI-PRI list until the plow is working and I have some time using it to see if I like the way I have it now or need a change.

I searched NAPAONLINE but could not find that solenoid, I guess I have to stop in...
I built latcing relay's in my younger days...but this one looks more rugged and water resistant than I could make.

You made a referance (in another thread) that you ordered 2 of the Diverter Valves...Is there another top secret project in the works?

Top secret? ha, ha, ha no secrets here Kenney. My neighbor John just down the road wanted better control for the grapple on his TN, so we got two, one for my project and one for his. In his case however since the TN has a bit more gpm on the pump he elected for a selector valve that would pass more fluid. Click here to see it.

BTW if and when you might decide to add a joystick button check out your local bike shop first. Don't know why a common black handlebar grip wouldn't work and most of them already come with a small hole in the end to mount your pushbutton switch.

Making good progress on this project. The only thing still left to do is route a set of hydraulic hoses forward to a point where we will mount a set of quick disconnects on the loader arms. Check out the progress here. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Need to order some hose from Discount Hydraulic Hose and we are in business.

That looks great Mike!

Wow, that's a really nice grapple. How much does that thing weigh? It sure looks like your going to lose a lot of lift capacity with that monster on there! Happy new year. John

KiotiJohn the grapple in the picture doesn't belong to us, it's my neighbors TBN member JASTN70D (John). His TN handles it with ease. John was kind enough to let me use the grapple to test the hydraulics that we had just installed and to see if a true grapple might be the ticket for our needs.

Actually the weight of a grapple is also a concern of mine. And since most of our work is done with the use of our bucket and tooth-bar we are leaning toward a bucket grapple instead. We are still looking around but haven't ruled out the possibility of even just welding one up ourselves. We're still keeping our eyes open and taking notes.

As a side note: Junkman you can relax now. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Happy New Year to all!

Hey, look Mom, I can weld! This is Kenny's plow mount getting fabbed yesterday!

Here is one more pic of the fabricated assembly, almost done
