Alright guys I'm trying to get motivated to get a loader built for one of my 1655's!
I like Chris Coleman's build & will be going somewhat similar... FEL build for my Snapper 1855a
My thinking so far.....
Pump 6.3 GPM .366 3,850 PSI 12 Outlet (1) 10 Inlet (1) ORBF from Princess Auto 8375370 https://www.princessauto.com/en/63-gpm-hydraulic-gear-pump/product/PA0008375370 driven off the front pto coupled with a 15 tooth 1" adapter
Looking at this triple DCV as I want to add a set of hoses to the front to run a small grapple for fire wood.
DCV 3 Spool (1 Float) 11 GPM 1/2" BSP (4) 3/8" BSP (6)
1x FLOATING 3 Spool Hydraulic Directional Control Valves 2x DA Double 40L 11 gpm | eBay
(I want to have the first valve as the float (reverse of this one but you get the idea)
It'd be pretty neat to have enough old Massey valves to make up a triple like the on board valve but they aren't easy to come by lol
Cylinders
2"x 24" lift cyl.
2"x 16-18" curl cyl
I'm thinking 2x4 tubing for the arms & Either 3x3 or 4x4 for the uprights, one as the tank of course.
Just the preliminary thoughts but let me know what you all think
