B7100D hydraulics and adding a FEL

[TheOldHokie]

Hey guys, just wanted to give an update.
I've had the Westendorf TA55 frontloader on there for a while now with no problems! I've got ~25 hrs of heavy front loader work with no issues.

I ended up fabricating a pump shaft using the female spline of flange 66704-88530 to 3/4" keyway stock and a Lovejoy coupling for the engine-to-pump connection. Pump is a NorTrac CBS6-F6. 3SS.
I built pump mount in cad and had Send Cut Send cut the steel and welded it up in place.
Hydraulic tank is an old steel scuba tank that I modified using parts cut by Send Cut Send.

I have cad for the pump mount if anyone would like it. I attached some pics for reference.

Thanks again for all the help.

How much did you pay for that 66704-88530 flange?

How many GPM do you figure you are getting out of it at operating RPM?

Pump is 3 GPM @ 1800 RPM = 4.7 GPM @ 2800 RPM

I figure between 3.5-5GPM durring normal operation. It's not very useful at idle. Peak flow of 6GPM doesn't happen until 3600RPM.

I think I paid around $100 for the flange. I hated to machine it down but it got the job done.

Thats about 1/3 the price at Colemans...

The stock pump is 3usgpm at full working RPM, so you are way ahead of the curve.

Mind you, at idle the pressure can stall the engine before the relief valve opens.
