L300b loader

[Dave_eng]

Made up 12 new hoses today and installed them tonight,tested the hydraulics for the first time,everything works as it should,I'm very pleased. The b1750 is a bit longer than the b7100 the loader came off,I had to drill one new hole in each side the front portion of the subframe, and still have to drill six holes in the nose of the tractor frame to bolt down the front mount,and that's it.

Give yourself a X-mas present.
At your local rental store rent a magnetic drill press.
Strong magnet holds it to metal making drilling holes in steel almost a dream compared to the hand drill method.

Thanks for the comment Dave,we have a mag drill at work,not sure it would fit into the space I need to get into. That aside,I have good bits,and am very good at sharpening, with only six holes to drill it should not take long at all,only need some sunlight,hurry up Saturday!
One thing that slipped my mind,the tower cross braces do not fit due to the way the hood on the 1750 slopes up for the instrument panel. Will fab a brace with more clearance ,and pulled material out of the scap bin at work for that,should be all done Saturday morning

Nice to be young and strong. A distant memory for me. Today I knocked over my Suzuki GS1100. I was greatly humbled when I could no long could stand it up.

An engine hoist to the rescue.

Hold the flashlight in your teeth rather than waiting for the sun .

I am looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Done for now,may clean it up and paint next spring,but it's functional !

Here is a side view. Used it for a hour or so,it's stronger and faster than I expected,it sure will come in handy!

It looks good. The loader towers are in a good location and the bucket looks like it's not too far out or too close.

Hmm, looks like the seat warmer is messing up. I see snow in the seat. Need to get that fixed next [emoji4]

Congrats on the loader project.
