Wow! Sarcasm? If thats all you have please keep it to yourself. Sorry if you have no appreciation for older equipment. No actually I'm not sorry. Smart ass remarks serve no purpose so again, keep them to yourself. I see a ton of people replying to questions on this forum with respectiful helpful responses. Yours not so much. You have a good day sir!
The response from the other guy was not in my view worth anything of any value. Besides that being a condensending A-Hole doesn't sit well with me. I have placed him on ignore so it won't be an issue moving forward. I'm here to learn and build my machine. I can joke and roast with the best of them, I assure you. I appreciate the info on the guy with the salvage. If I have to I'm ready to fab one or have a loader built from plans or whatever I can get my hands on. And yeah, I'm in OP near 87th and Antioch. Nice to meet you neighbor.
I have seen electric driven pumps that sparked my idea for a loader but it may all be a pipe drream. I'm used to playing with old equipment. My "other" yard tractor is a 1966 WheelHorse. I replaced the 6hp Tecumseh with a 15hp Honda. I pull a slotted disc and solid disc in tandem to work up the garden. Then a cultivator and a harrow to smooth out all the clumps before planting. Push snow with it in the winter time with a front blade. I even have a single bottom plow that actually works. Old stuff can work well if you treat it right. Heck I'm old!! ;-)
Glad you found your loader and looking forward to seeing your build and progress.Found a real nice shape Kubota B219 loader in Oklahoma. Brought it home yesterday. Will build a subframe and re-hose the loader with a pressure gauge and return filter as well. The front spline drive for the pump is in great shape. I found a vendor for the drive attachment and pump. Will also be replacing the 2 lever system with a single 2 spool joy stick for easier operation. Things are looking up around here.
Appreciate the comments. I’m not detoured by nay sayers. Most that are like that have a high opinion of themselves and deflect downward to others ideas and suggestions. I’m the guy who is ready to prove them wrong. This is just another one of those times.Glad you found your loader and looking forward to seeing your build and progress.
Good on you for forging ahead despite the real or perceived obstacles expressed here.
Thank you. I’ll post pics as I move thru the process.
I drove 380 miles each way. Yup, 760 miles which turned out to be a 17 hour day. Broke a brake line on my old Jeep which the seller helped me repair. Couldn’t ask for a better bunch of folks to deal with. But in the end I have a B219 loader that is in the back excellent condition.
Once I get this tiger tamed I’m sure a 2nd set could be arranged for a tiny fee.Nice!! Feel free to make two sets of the brackets
Kubota loaders are out there for sale. Just gotta turn over some rocks to find them. I seen a post recently where a guy mounted an LA series loader on a 7200 I believe it was. Of course you’re back to building a subframe and a few different brackets but that’s where the fun is, right?
