I'm sure each police cruiser already costs well over 60k, I think the main argument I see is being forced vs still having a choice. If the EV or hybrid fits your budget/lifestyle go for it they certainly have their place for SOME individuals. I am however in extreme opposition of being forced...

Truth

Spent some time after work this afternoon getting started on the gussets to go between the two halves of each loader arm. I was going to forgo this step and use loft cylinder mounts together but since I still don't fully trust my welding I figure spreading the distance of the gussets over...

I did not, if I can figure out how to get the gun in there I'll give that a whirl, I guess anything is better then nothing on that part

Well, I didn't get as far today as I had hoped. Spent most of the morning picking up and delivering a washer in the rain, yay for being "the guy with a truck" after that it was basically 11 o'clock welded in my "budget bushings" to the arms and ground them down flush to the arms surface. Got the...

Thanks Bart, that's the plan, a little grease goes a long way for making things last on a tractor. I got a long way to go and a short time to get there, before any "final assembly" and grease but I did pick up some good marine grade water resistant grease today to have on hand when this project...

Unfortunately I think drilling and tapping the "bushings" is beyond my skillset, also they are going to be recessed in the loader arms to the point that inserting a grease gun will be nearly impossible and that would require an extension of the zerk (not totally impossible but a pain). I would...

Spent about 4 hours this evening drilling a bunch of holes at my father's house/shop with a much sturdier and true running drill press. Got the brackets for the lift cylinders drilled and the boom arms drilled oversized for my "budget bushings" should be able to get a fair amount of work done...

I just used poiner style on my b7100, and what others said is true, they do drip a bit of fluid when disconnected, for me it was a price thing as pioneer style cost a fair bit less and since my money does more of a jiggle jiggle thing and less of a fold thing it was an easy choice for me. Also I...

Vigo, all sounds good, that's kinda the #'s I am aiming for

That's basically my understanding, I haven't crunched those exact calculations as far as distance from cylinder pin to bucket pin but I've used 2/3 as a rough guess which I think is fairly conservative based off of actual loader weight as well as, distances. But ill have to get some real #'s...

I like it lol nor saying I want to try it but those pictures are pretty impressive. Based on my calculations 1, 1 inch rod 1.5 inch bore cylinder set at 15 degrees and 1500 psi will lift 686lbs per cylinder, being that im not sure I can get a much of a shallower angle based on my current arm/...

I like those large skid shoes, do they work well on unfrozen gravel? 🤔

Thanks I've seen your build on here and I'm pretty sure on YouTube as well, I may have some questions down the line but my measurements are likely a little varied from both the actual b219 loaderas well as the 5100 I'm using tidbits from others builds and adapting them to my build as I go and...

It seems I misspoke, as another member has specified the distance on tower/arm width on a b219 loader to be 30" and 35" inside and outside respectively I dont think the extra two inches which translates to 1" on each side on my build is a critical difference, especially when the material I...

Lil Foot if anything mine are actually tighter to the tractor hood based on the mounting points/front wheels in ur pictures, I would say the distance on my posts is very similar if not a little narrower

Yes and no, they are 32" apart inside to inside allowing room for the belly braces that I have fabbed up to go from the factory holes in the transmission tunnel to the cross member, and also allow my braces from the towers to the front of the tractor clearances for the exhaust and intake

Spent some time last evening making some adjustments to the overall setup with my father, two sets of eyes are better then one and two sets of hands are also better especially when one is older and wiser. We started with the existing tower height and set one front tire to full stuff...

Maybe not a second truck but a second used similar plow may work. You would only need the plow side not the truck side of course that is probably a fools errand who knows just a thought

QUOTE="North Idaho Wolfman, post: 619646, member: 13714"] Your loader arms should be level or slightly down, not a steep angle. Got it thanks I already disassembled everything this afternoon in preparation for the snow we are suppossed to get tomorrow night so I'll have to revisit this in a...
