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

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