YOU can do it for 1/2 that most likely.

It's still 'pinned on' in my eyes. Yes you hang the main body on the SSQA, but then you still have to install the rod and the two turnbuckle links to make it work. 3rd functions are so readily available now, and at reasonable prices (in my view anyway) there is just no need for these. Seems...

I'm a JD guy, no secret there, but on the JD's the middle hole seems to be the most used.

Thats an old Gannon TnT setup, good luck finding a manual.

Superb fabrication and execution @Paul Allwood , thanks for taking the time to do that!

Very nice! But you hid all the magic from us 😂

Two Hydraulic quick connects would be easy to add to that setup if you can figure the threads out, it would be a worthwhile addition. I have a 10k two-post lift in the barn, the jack still comes out every now and then :ROFLMAO:

Spring clamps provide constant tension, unlike worm clamps. They are better is some cases, but not all. The foam indicates that air is being sucked in somewhere, have you checked around the filter seal?

There is nothing cheap about hydraulics, except for o-rings and advice on OTT ;)

Can you define 'grabber'? If you mean a grapple, then yes you really need a '3rd FUNCTION' to operate it. It would make it mostly useless if you didn't have all all four functions of the loader available.

Air hose works great too... Here is the way common hoses are measured:

Pic of mine that I took Monday

Brings back many memories of when I bought, dissembled, moved and reassembled mine, nice job! I rebuilt my J-head last year, Barry and H&W are awesome to say the least.

No. You just have to get used to it...it's just one reason I don't like 'spinners' on my tractor. If the orbital valve has some leakyby, you can even see the wheel change position slowly while drive straight down the road.

100% normal. The steering is hydrostatic so there is no mechanical connection to the front wheels.
