Pics of the loader bracing and the loader frame wall heaviness. It's a westendorf loader, WL30 I believe. Had shortened the loader arms 11 inches. More to come

I did a loader repair on a 4000 some 20yrs ago,the end of the lift arm behind the bucket was bent.had to pull it hydraulically to get it back in line..it was sprung inside the bucket mount bosses,dont know how the previous owner got the bucket on it..I made gussets like yours,but just a bit shorter..the guy still uses it so I guess I did something right

Reason for one was, I could not find a ford one..or aleast one that wasn't 3d printed from weld. So I decided to find a good one and make fit than cut and grind and clean up a busted up one..I hate grinding. This came up for auction and was made for a narrow front so it went cheap. Got a engine driven hydraulic pump. The tractor hydraulics are painfully slow...pump is 14 gpm at like 2200 ripums...which is governed engine speed

Making square stuff round...building cylinder stroke limiters. I had changed the cylinder mounts some now stroke is to long. These will go in the cylinder top of 5he piston. 2 in long. An aluminum block is what I had. Turned them down to 2.700 and bore is just a scooch over 1.75 to slip nice on the rod

You put this INSIDE the cylinder?--WOW !! never seen that done before! Should do the job. That will shorten things up a bit for sure!

I had to do that with the tilt & trim cylinders on a boat I had. Changed the drive package and the replacement would hit the swim platform. Darnn near tore it off first time I raised the drive. 1" stoke limiters in the cylinders solved the problem. Pretty sure I posted that up on Matt's old site. Probably the 1st site. That was some time ago. Lost some good stuff on that shift too.

Loader under its. Own power. I gotta put a guage on it because I dont remember what the relief is set at....the 14 gpm crank driven pump seams to motivate it quite well

I think most of us are not as flexible as we used to be! lol! I know I am not! ---- gotta cheat a bit when I weld now days too!
Pump guards are kinda needed, no matter how careful you are----your gonna bump something!! lol! it just happens!
Didnt have one on the TD-9 dozer I had ----ya had a few close calls with it! The TD-9 loader I had was a big front cover on it ----it was made out of 1/4 or 1/2 inch stuff punched with round holes for air flow to rad. and covered the whole front of the tractor.
They do save the pump and rad. from damage.

But my pump doesn't stick out as far. I do need to re-rout the discharge hose though. this ones getting hammered. the pump is actually flush with the Front bumper which is actually a support for the loader frame.
