Possible Hydraulic Setup?

[KennyP]

Went to work on the hydraulic cylinder mount for the 3-point. Dug out this hitch (red) and fit it to the tractor. Made up a 1/4" plate for strength.

Using a stitch weld, I got the outside done up.


Again using the stitch weld, I got the backside. I did this to keep the angle correct.


Looks like I succeeded.

My pulley should arrive today. Then I can see if the pump will fit where I want to put it. I may have to modify the exhaust, such is life!

Looks good so far Kenny, going to be a great addition to the tractor.

Well, the USPS did not deliver today! Did get the crank pulley painted.



Have no idea on the white spots showing, by eye they are not there!

Ours did. Wonder what's going on?

All I know is there was no mail in our mail box today. Didn't see if she came by here today or not though. Pretty unusual not to have at least a bill or two along with junk mail.

Got junk mail, just no pulley! Now tracking says it will be late.

Now tracking says it will be late.

Sounds just like the orders I've put in recently. Hurry up and wait.

Pulley arrived today! Gonna be good for my application. Bad part is rain most of the week with snow flurries on the 1st. Plus my daughter from Western KS. is coming to visit this weekend. This may go into Spring! I will NOT be out in the cold building.

I do, but the tractor won't fit in there! Too much junk! LOL

Not much progress due to weather but I did receive the fittings for the steel lines. They are 3/8 compression to 6 JIC (steel). Hope they do the trick. If I can get a couple decent days, maybe I can get the pump mounting figured out.

 

[KennyP]

Got a little accomplished on the pump today.

 

[KennyP]

Got into this build some more. Put the pulley on the engine, no issues with the exhaust. Now noodling the pump mount.

 

[KennyP]

Worked things a bit more! Tomorrow, I may marry the pump mounts to the framework!

Looking good Kenny! No more strongarm lifting soon!

 

[MFDAC]

That setup is gonna work great, Kenny! Glad you are showing us how you are doing it!

Kenny, if you want the 3 point to float, you can sleeve the end of the cylinder and make a pin to go thru for the times you want down pressure.

Alan, the lift links have an option for float or not.

I will have the complete attachment clutch mechanism for this available if someone needs it. Will need new pullers though. The switch even still works. Also the engine pulley olcowhand sent me as I can't use it. 1-1/8" shaft.

More progress! Got the pump mounts located and tacked in place.


Then I got the pump set back in. Need to trim some excess threads off a bolt in the second pic (red dot).


Got one end of the belt tensioner bent up. I'll have to figure the offset tomorrow.
