Mike C. : Welcome!

I'm thinking you have a dilemma. Your Dad's 70 (built 1963 - 1965) has a sentiment. It also evidently has a plow blade and a broken connecting rod. What to do? You found a good Forum to help you make your decision.

Did I mention that 70"s are special?

Charlie, yes! Cool graphic.

 

[ekincaid]

Question....,has anybody run a front end loader off of the front hydro ports on a q/l or spread frame???if so how was the aux fluid reservoir incorporated???

 

[mgwin]

Yes sir, Charlie!
I do too!

 

[mgonitzke]

Ethan-

It's been done, but...don't. The charge pump lacks both pressure and flow appropriate for a loader. You would have a glacially slow loader and probably eventually destroy the transmission.

 

[ekincaid]

Matt-that’s kinda what I thought too but thought I’d bounce the idea,I’ve some big plans brewing for my double stick 1450,those include and Diesel engine and the aforementioned front end loader I may switch up the idea a bit and fashion the front loader to the Iron Patriot which is going to be getting a refreshed K321 later this coming summer

 

[sblunier]

Ethan....listen to Matt RE front end loader hyd.....run a separate pump.

I think my QA42A has the wrong size pulley on it. The correct part number is IH-485247-R91. I am having difficulty finding the demotions. Even if I do have the correct pulley, I will be needing a new one soon. This on isn't in the best of shape.

Michael S.
QA's and others came with a 4" pulley.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Michael, be sure to get a good quality cast steel pulley, not aluminum, stamped steel or cheap pot metal.
