you suppose with a little modification to the mounts, a tiller could be mounted along with this FEL?

Anything is possible if you have the tools and the dream

Cleaned up and installed new seal on the Cessna pump. Started fabricating the bracket to hold it. Got a new pulley.

Put the quick pins on today. Now have to figure out why the clutch keeps shutting off

Well done, 

 

the Chainhooks on the Top of your Bucket is a good idea, 

but i leave mine in the Top open, because i plan next Time to build a removable

hydraulic Croc byte on the Top of mine, to keep Hay or Roots or even Grass into the Bucket.

 

About your troubles with the Clutch, is on your mule drive maybe a additiona coupled Safety Switch, that acting?

Looking great! I love the double wheel weights. 

 

I dont know how much you have dug into the rear end, but since you are still very much in the build phase of this, i would most definitely pull the rear end and replace the axle needle bearings and seals if the axles are still in good shape. 

 

Of all the XIs I have seen, this can be a early failure point. (they all seem to seep oil after a few hundred hours) and the needle bearings wear out due to the extra weight and force of the XI.

 

(or at least do this to your spare rear end,rewdy for easy swap!) 

 

I cant wait to see this done!

Out today for some rock moving, all seems to work well. Oil was getting hot  think I may have a restriction.  Need to finish up weight box.

Tom,

 

Did you figure out the clutch shutting off issue?

 

I was thinking on that, and if your tractor is new enough to have the reverse safety switch under the seat, something could be malfunctioning with that. Also for a loader application you will want to hot wire out that whole module so it stays running. 

 

I know that was a while ago, but it just popped in my head!

Looks great. I love the quick attach. Are you following the john deere type of quick attach? What size is the round cylinder that attaches at the front for the quick attach? Do you have any dimensions or drawings for the quick attach? Are you going for the artillian style pallet forks?

Change of plans on the fork setup.  I decided to weld DOM tubing on top of the forks and then be able to slide them on 1" solid bar. Cut and milled 1" of the sides of the forks and cut 9" of the tops to reduce the weight. Founds some cut plates at the scrap yard fof the ends and center. Finished the weight box added a brace on back for the suitcase weights and a hitch.
