OK yall know the BX came home,,, Now on to the next problem at hand. I know I know I know,, but hear me out. While the BX was down I went and took the FEL off the B pretty straight forward, right? Nope not so much, the feet that are suppose to hold the FEL up collapsed yes they just folded right back in the closed position,, most likely my fault, but I digress. I did manage to get all the hydraulics disconnected, and the arms off the front tires so everything is laying on the floor. So now I need to figure out how to get the grapple off , thats a couple hundred pounds I dont have to fight with, and raise the arms up to where they go,,,, You have no idea how many naughty words I have invented. So at least one of the steel lines has been crunched and is leaking. Is there and kind of splice I can put in the damaged spots rather than have to buy a whole thing from K ?
An the saga continues

Fwiw... the hydraulic shop I deal with would run you about $4/ft to reproduce the metal lines off a L series so pretty cheap when they bend to match exactly if you decide to go that route.
Me to. He (and unnamed others) might consider selling subscriptions for and annual addition of escapades. I suspect they don't publish pictures here is because they fear one of their tricks shows in background to be stolen. I can say with conviction that no such thieving scoundrels exists around OTT.
skeets, if the feet colapsed, looks like you are going to have to purchase a new set, or at the minimum, remove the old ones and have them repaired. Is there any way you can lift the loader with another tractor and keep it propped up with skids or some other means ? If you could do that, it would make it much easier for you to undo a couple of bolts to remove and either repair or replace the old ones. It,s only money, check out how much a new set will cost you. It should be very easy to remove and replace, once you have decided the direction you want to proceed in.
