Joe L. that looks like a Murray front blade to me.

I`am waiting for you to post a picture of the NF lift cylinder, I think they are the same cylinder except for the different end . Can you post the cylinder size and length(stroke). I know they have a slot to allow a float on a blade .

Thanks Charlie-

If you would please include the part number so I can ask for the right one in the wanted section. I easily found the others p/n but couldn't find the auxillary hydraulics anywhere.



Also, how different are the means of attaching to the tractor between a wf and a nf? I want to put this system on a wf and this is all I have at present. I'm pretty sure it came from a nf.

Thanks again....Wayne

Wayne-

The WF tractors never had a hydraulic lift unit like that. If you use it on a WF, you'll have to use a 1x9 or QL cylinder and rockshaft and come up with your own mounting brackets.

Here ya go.

It's gettin closer!

Paint and decals are drying pretty well today.

Between 2 sets of wheel weights and what's in the box. I've got a total of 562 pounds of ballast. That oughta do for a start to see how well it will lift.

Wayne,
Your best bet is to find a junker 1450 or 1650 that has a hydraulic lift. It will have almost all of the hardware you will need. Upgraded the lift on my 129 last summer. My dad thought I was crazy for paying good money for an engineless and wheelless 1650, but except for a small easily fabricated bracket to anchor the left side of the lift lever, it is practically a bolt-on changeover. It paid off handsomely when I was using the snowblower attachment almost daily for weeks during last triple blizzard winter.

Richard T,
Thanks for the link to CC Specialities but they show three different center caps with decals, one clear and one black all marked to fit my 122.

I'm still not sure which one was correct.

 

[wshytle]

Thank you very much for all of the input about the hydraulics.

Matt-

I was sure I have seen a 128 with the auxillary hydraulics before so I just assumed.

Bruce-

That's what I'll do; find a junker if possible. It won't be the first time I've bought a cub for certain parts.

Charlie-

Thanks for the pics. I'm learning a lot today about these systems. That is a beautiful loader. It has a mean look to it....like it could lift a house.

On a mechanicial pto how does the locking collar hold in the bearing. When I took the pto off the bearing came off with it. Now I'm not sure how it locks on the collar . Collor stayed on crankshaft. Mel

Melody,
The PTO bearing is made of two pieces. The collar ( that goes towards the engine ) must be rotated on the bearing portion so the hole is "round" ( as in not off center).

Tap the bearing back ( by the inner race only, not on the outside ) and then using a punch, rotate the collar until it stops. Tighten the set screw ( and nut ) .

That back portion is on an eccentric and by rotating it until it locks in place, it helps keep the PTO bearing in that position.

Charlie- That bucket is HUGE!!, I built a loader about 10 yrs ago for something to do, mine works great, (I'm going back to make some minor changes) Power steering would be real nice for tight spots. I'll post some pics if someone could teach me how. (I looked in the FAQ)

 

[mschutz]

thanks Jeff, I'll try that tommorow.

 

[tstewart]

Charlie - havent been on here in weeks and right at the top of the list is some pictures of one nice looking loader! Looks great... now I really want me one of those!

 

[aaytay]

Jeff D.-
This is right out of the 122 brochure...

Charlie-
Nice looking loader!

Marlin-
Nice score on the GREENIE.

 

[aaytay]

Oh, and I pick this up this weekend...

Melody S.
Here's the instruction sheet for the locking collar.

It's in the FAQ's.

Art!
I can picture you setting on that little thing, and then the words, monkey and football come to mind.

 

[jderstine]

Aaytay

Thanks, greatly appreciated.

 

[aaytay]

Jeff-
No problem..

Charlie-
Yeah, but if you only knew who's football it used to be you might not be saying that!
