Looking for plans for loader

[Hivoltage98]

I'm looking to build a loader for my cub cadet 5254 sub compact tractor. I'm on a budget like everyone else so I was looking to see if anyone had plans they could share so I could get an idea on material..
Thanks

one more hint, make a cardboard or hard board mock of things, use 1/4 bolts and washers for pivot points, and one can check movement of arms and bucket, on a full scale and see if thing will bind or not, make a life size flat cut out of the tractor, but once one has the cylinders one can see if the extension and closed positions what the paper drawing says it may be, try to keep the bucket as close to the front of the tractor as if extended, it puts more load on the front, and can lift the rear off easer,

I recommend building some type of quick attach for it. I wish I would have done it when I put mine together: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/272163-fel-toro-groundsmaster-put-together.html

Back then I didn't know that I would end up with so many attachments for it.

This brush fork is one that a use a lot.

Picked it up.


The burn pile.



Let us know what you come up with, since there are a lot of guys wanting to do the same thing. :thumbsup:

i would look at CAD Plans, they have a variety of different plans for various size loaders. I built one that fit a JD 400 tractor, the plans were easy to follow and the loader worked great.
