I'm speechless.

Brendan, Thanks for the info, I am not sure of the tractors history as we just bought it. I guess we will repair and hope for the best...

Kevin P.-

Let's see...misaligned engine/driveshaft, really bad pilot bushing, or worn spirol pins in the 3-pin driver come to mind.

Thanks Matt,
I can see at this point that I will have to replace the 3 pin plate and the clutch plate, any other suggestions as to what else I should replace while I am in there, maybe the pilot bushing? As it appears I am going to have to take the engine out and all?

so I'm Ganna build a Front-End Loader.

I orderd plans from P.F. Engineering and hope to get them soon. Anyone else used these plans? Will I need to buy a hydraulic pump or will the on board hydraulics on my 982 be sufficient? I'm pretty excited about the project!

The ford plow has the wrong style hitch on it. You need a hitch that looks like this one:

The early Brinly plows have a sincle hole instead of 3 holes as shown in the picture.

Everett Dale (Edale) I built off there plans on a 129. The pump i bought at northern tool. i think .314,4 to 12 at 4000 rpm. Later Don T

EVERETT - I saw a 982 w/loader at a plow day several years ago....think it was PD version 3.0. He had an aux. pump driven off the frt PTO. Rear PTO if Your 982 has one would work too. The on-board hyd. would power a loader but with only 800-900 psi and maybe 2-3 gpm it would be slow & weak, plus You only have seven quarts of Hy-Tran in the whole rearend, even with 2-way cylinders You still need some oil to displace the volume of the cylinder rods. And keep in mind You will frequently have the loader fully raised and the bucket cyl. extended, drawing the most oil possible out of Your Hydro. Depending on how big Your cylnders for lift & bucket dumping are determines how big a pump & res. You need. There should be info in Your plans. I actually figure pump size "Backwards" starting with a required cycle time to go from totally down to fully UP position. I use a time of 10 to 15 seconds. Bucket cylinders are normally smaller but should operate quicker. I LIKE QUICK Hydraulics. It is possible to get the hydraulics too fast and they become jerky, but I really hate waiting for the loader to raise or lower.

Son & I played in the snow Christmas AM before dinner. Loaders on the Super H and M are very similar, but the loader on the Super H is MUCH stronger & more rigid. BUT the Super H hyd. pump is only about 6-7 gpm & 900 psi, pump on the M is 10-12 gpm and 1200+ psi. Loader on the M will lift much more weight way faster than the Super H. Use a higher PSI pump, even if You have to pay more for it.

KEVIN P. - While You have the engine moved forward to repair the clutch (You really don't have to take it out of the tractor) You may as well replace the throw-out bearing and teaser spring.

I was a busy boy today i had to pick up this.

i have needed to do this to tuch up the faces on my 2 o~s and the 100. so the work piles up and i <think> i can buy a 54" snow blade for the 149. was just thinking how she will handle all that extra steel. II`ll see. Later Don T

Thank you Dale M., now I have to find another one. Thanks for the info and the pic. Nick

 

[nhasson]

Dale, is it just the hitch that is bolted to the plow that is different? Nick

 

[dmerkle]

Nick,
The hitch on an early Brinly plow was welded on.

This was a single hole style sleeve hitch. This hitch was modified so plow bottom can take a 10 inch wide cut. The material containing the center hole and hole to the right was added to the hitch.

Thanks Dale........

I got my rockshaft today, and after coming home from being drug off to the mall by the Mrs. I got the hydro lift installed. A BIG Thank You to Joey Dudding! Here are some pics. All I have left to do is fill it up and put the rear fenders back on! After the 9th it will be no lifting anything for 2 to 3 weeks, having a hernia repaired, so I thought I would bang all this stuff out now while I have the chance!

So do I still need the spring assist or can I part with that?

 

[edale]

Don T. A few questions if you got a minute. How long do you think it took you to build that loader? Have you had any problems with it? Is it easy to remove or can you still use the mower deck with the loader attached?

I might think of a few more questions later. Thanks in advance

Scott, no need for the spring assist. It's amazing what those lifts will pick up.
