Soo.. yet another idea that floated around in my head for way too long was to build a wheelbarrow with a 'big' wheel.
We're hauling horse manure from several places, some more muddy than others. When doing so with a 'normal' wheelbarrow the frontwheel tends to cut through the mud instead of rolling on top. My idea was to mount a single wide wheel to have more flotation so the wheelbarrow would be easier to push through the mud.
To start things of I convinced my SO to donate her wheelbarrow to the good cause.
This is what I started out with:
Solid, narrow, single wheel. Yes it is crooked because the bearings are gone.
More in next post.

Finally getting around to working on my ark loader. The previous owner said he thinks the problem is with the spool valve.
As I've learned a bit more about hydraulics now, I'd like to get this all sorted out.
I noticed the power beyond port is connected to the reservoir return. Is that right?
Anyone see anything blatantly incorrect?

I was looking around on ebay and noticed that hydraulic actuators from John Deere 312, 317, etc models appear to be Identical to a Gt14 or d series lift cylinder. My question is would a new cylinder from ebay be able to replace one that is on a gt14 or d series?
Images below of cylinders to show similaritys.

'74 D-180
My friction disc in gone on my clutch. I saw the old post about making a new friction disc, so I'm not concerned about that.
I managed to remove the front clutch plate and double v-belt pulley. But I can't separate the two. When I took the assembly off the spiraloc washer popped off on its own. I HAVE READ THE MANUALS.
So I should be able to just remove the pulley from the front clutch and continue with step 4. The v-belt pulley is loose as all hell and flops around like a dead fish. It seems to be hung up on a ring or bearing race.
So my thoughts are grab a BFH or sparky the blue tip wrench.
Is there an unpublished step 3.5, or some trick?

Hey all,
My '74 D180 has a lot of trouble pushing snow. Weighted tires, but nothing else at this time. I've found it gets stuck frequently and only one wheel spins. Do these tractors not have a limited slip/locker arrangement? How does everyone manage with the infamous one wheel peel?
