I take that back just measured they are 36-1/2" to the long point

Tower height is only 39 inches right now if I take off a foot the 18 inch lift cylinders aren't going to clear the tires

Spent the day getting the loader arms tacked up and the rough measurements as to where to drill the holes for the tower to arm pivot point. In a couple weeks I'll be using a much nicer drill press then mine at my father's shop. Hopefully between they better drill press with a stable table and...

Thankfully for that the kubota kuh110 ? plow subframe frame is nearly identical to the b219 loader subframe and uses the same axle bolting technique. As far as diagonal bracing from the front of the tractor to the top or middle of the towers I have 2x2" x3/16 wall planned which should be sufficient

When I ground down the plates attached to the towers I could see decent bond and penetration wherever the weld was at least halfway consistent so I supposse if I kept practicing and trying I could probably get away without the uncontemproary added amgle and bolts however since this is probably...

I'll have to give that a whirl Saturday, schedule is jammed until then and I may even lose part iof Saturday depending on how much slushy snow we get

Took Wolfmans advice and got the thinner wire (.030) and what a difference that makes with consistent arc and concentrated heat. I'm still no expert but it definately made a difference in "weld quality" if you can even use the word quality with my work. Becuase I still don't fully trust my...

Thankfully I have a fair amount of experience with threading fittings working in water treatment

Good to know, my cylinders are ORB boss 6 which is nice and the hoses can be anything but since I already ordered ORB to Jic elbows for the cylinder connections and Jic tees for the hoses ill probably stick to JIC for most hoses with female swivel ends and switch back to npt adapters right at...

Another hydro question for the experts I ordered the quick disconnects to be able to remove the plow and its hydros after confirming they where 1/4" lines also ordered some small 12"Lx 1/4" hoses to get me away from the spool valve (I don't think there is enough room to maneuver 4 disconnects...

Definately the plan, I only went that far with the grinding to see if I had any bonding at all, gussets will be added wherever feasible/possible

I know no-one is giving me a hard time just to give ne a hard time, I'm honestly taking it all in and trying to adjust and improve. That's why I signed up for this forum and adventure

Point taken

Admittedly my welds are probably some of the ugliest known to man and after your post Vigo I became even more self aware and self conscious of this 😅. To the point that I came home from work and spent some time grinding a few of my "welds" down I did find the parts bonded fairly well (maybe...

Made some progress working on the towers today , despite having to use the tractor to plow a couple inches of mush this morning

Vigo, a quick disconnect bucket is not in my plans at this point maybe some day in the future, but I'm going to somewhat copy Torch's design for the post mounts in that it will only take 8 bolts and w/e holds the tower braces to the front frame to disconnect the loader from the tractor, it won't...

That's kind of the answers I was looking for I have no intention of pulling the levers with nothing hooked up but thanks for confiring my suspensions as to what may happen

Question for the hydro gurus, I have what I believe is the factory open center 2 spool 2 lever valve for the factory snow plow (KUF110?). If I add quick connects to the four output hoses (to the cylinders) and disconnect there am I good? Or do I need a jumper hose to keep from overpressurizong...

I got a 8 ( I think can't remeber) foot steel plow for 50$ as well this fall cut 18 inches off each sude with a grinder to make it 60 inches (I think cant remember) mounted it on my 7100. I already had the factory plow with full hydro tilt etc so I just had to build a mount to adapt to the...

Thanks NI wolf, I'll give that a try
