Yeah, that's true, the bucket does come off easier than the whole loader.
However, when I put the bucket on the last time it was a real pain in the sleeve hitch (<font size="-2">If you know what I mean</font>)
I think I'll stick to seperate tractors or add a quick-tach to the bucket.

I have a 1650 with Johnson loader mounted on it. It is a workhorse. 
I would like to 'bump' up the power or pressure in the loader a bit though, if possible. I was pulling some bushes the other day and it would have been nice to have a wee bit more force.

That's ALL its rated for.
You never said (that I remember) what you had for a pump ... ie ... running a dedicated pump or running off the transmission like some guys have done.
If you "turn up the pump" you'll be breaking parts or busting hoses. I've seen what busting hoses does to a thumb ... = years of pig skin grafts !
Learn to LIVE with what ya've got and remember , it's better than a shovel !

John - If you have to have more humph out of your loader then there's ONLY one way to do it safely = larger diameter cylinders.
There's a reason your pressure is set where it is , it's called SAFTEY for those that don't know when to let go of the handle

JB, Buck, Ken,
Constant "grinding" into gear, especially common on 2nd gear used for mowing, can round the front of the gear tooth excessively on Cub transmissions...at that point it doesn't matter if the spring is new, or the fork is welded, it will still jump out. The problem is likely one of the three things though, spring/detent, bent fork ears, or worn tooth faces.

AH a friendly discussion 1650 VS 782! My all time favorite Cub was my Red 782 quiet and smooth, power for tilling, snowblowing, mowing and many other jobs.
But the real workhorse that I have owned is my 1650, single big honkin piston, lugin, simplicity of working on, teeth shakin, butt vibratin, workhorse oh I said that, tractor!!
Its kinda like comparing an old JD 2 Cyl. to a IH 4 cyl. you get the horsepower different ways.
I figure someday when I get old and feeble (stay out of this Ken and Kraig
) I will get another 782 so the grandkids will not find Granpa lying out in the yard.
