Looks like its in front of the radiator? Hst has an extra hydraulic cooler in that area. Im guessing a gear tractor could choose to use the hst battery area if they wanted to. I actually have two batteries on my b6100, one of them being on the loader subframe. But those things have a weird...

Sounds like youve absolutely got a use case for it. I dont remember what the stock battery size is but ive got a 24dc marine battery in my b8200. I use walmart marine batteries for anything they’ll fit in. 😂

However it’s regulated, it shouldn’t charge any more than it needs to. Unless you’ve added a bunch of electrical draw to the tractor somehow that exceeded the capability of the stock charging system, nothing will change just because you now have an alternator with a massive amount of ‘headroom’...

Nice!! It's gonna be awesome having a tiny loader. I havent gotten over mine and its been a couple of years now.. Kinda 'crazy' of you to test the thing with only one lift cylinder!! Lots of people wouldn't willingly put their factory-built loader through that. So, the fact that nothing...

I second the middlebuster idea for this. I think that would work really well other than needing (maybe?) to clean it out by hand afterwards. If you really want to go deeper than a foot the best option probably becomes something else. I can't recommend anything FEL-mounted for this task...

A towable digger makes a lot more sense than a fronthoe on a tractor loader, in most situations i can imagine. I think a stump bucket makes more sense than a fronthoe on a tractor loader in a lot of cases too. A skid steer is really what makes a fronthoe a workable idea if other better options...

That's a very nice tractor. I agree with start at 5k and see what happens. I have not had good luck selling a ~700hr B7100D gear tractor w/48" mower for ~4100 obo. Haven't had an offer over 3000 that i recall. I've just held on to it, waiting and looking for trade opportunities. I think part...

So i have two turbo minivans. The SRT4-swapped one was originally 3spd auto and still is, but it's a different case to fit the srt4 engine (different starter location) with same basic guts as an 89 would have had. It's basically a mini-torqueflite 904 in a fwd transaxle arrangement. My other...

Those look like thread measurements. 24mm is slightly thinner than 1”. Some tow balls have a 1” 14tpi shank, and use a 1-1/2” nut. If that happens to be the size you need you might be in luck because all kinds of places sell ‘tow ball wrenches’ for $8-15. Harbor Freight, Walmart, Autozone, etc...

Got any pics of yoyr 24” bucket, OP? Im curious how hard it would be to relocate your teeth.

Is the 24” bucket the one you use most of the time? If youve ever thought you might like a different bucket i would use this as an excuse to get a new bucket that either a: doesnt need modification to fix this issue, or b: doesn’t leave you ‘bucket-less’ while you modify the 24” to fix this...

This is gonna be cool when youre done!

Hold a tape measure to it. Or slide calipers. Or, if you dont mind half-assing it to get it done in a hurry, just stick a pipe wrench on it and smack that with a hammer. But im guessing you own a tape measure so that wont be necessary 😂

^I don't see anything but the quote there, maybe the forum ate it? :( One thing Id like to lodge a complaint about is the parking brake handle on these tractors! Look, i know what you're thinking.. And i don't blame you.. but, carrying on, it sucks because it lays basically flush to the...

Almost there. I understand you probably want to put it into use right away, but i wouldn't pick up anything fragile with it for a while. I think some of those welds are going to break loose. Since it's not in operation yet you could try some destructive testing on the things you haven't painted...

More like junk collector! I never sell anything! 😂 I do have a lot of cheap old cars. My car hobby has gone almost entirely on hold since i started playing with tractors, other than cars i work on for other people. The cars under covers in those pics were cars i was working on for friends...

Needless to say I love what you do with actual tooling in this scenario.. my 'theory' of why this would be fairly easy on a sectional end housing is that in my mind, since the o-ring groove is already in the valve section, all you need is a flat surface to push against it. So my thought was...

Here's an 'in-progress' pic from around the time i was mostly done with the loader, but before i fixed up more of the body panels and started on the backhoe. I ended up swapping the front wheels side for side (to the wider setting) so that i wouldn't have to limit the steering travel so much...

Since the end of a sectional valve surface is a flat flange with some holes in it, i believe you would just be intercepting the neutral 'hole' before it 'dumped' into the common area in the outlet manifold. I was just suggesting that modifying the outlet housing to create a PB port would be a...

1 is a fair point, which begs the question of what is the difference between a simple o-ring or lip seal in a cylinder piston or gland vs on a spool valve? Perhaps a safer statement would be if a sectional valve had the possibility of PB at all, that passage exists already in the valve sections...
