@MrKooky777, Thanks! The pump I have can take much large displacement internals, so I am going to rebuilt that. I am limited for space between the PTO shaft and the rear cross member. Also, I am running directly off the PTO, so my RPM there is not as high as I would like. I may change over to a flywheel belt drive on the back of the engine to get faster rotation. It will be nice to post a video of the thing shaking dirt out of the bucket!
Wow what a nice loader, nice tractor, wish I could built a nice loader like yours, dont have much landscape to do, i live in a small city, 10 min of mowing by hand, so !! would be for fun, cool.....
the green and yellow one in the background must be yer wifes grass cutter. it looks like a toy behind the fine machine yer ridin. i little bigger pump would help though.
@colbycous01, Yes, the John Deere is definitely just a mower, I think this summer I'll up the pump size, should make it much more functional. need wheel weights too, gets a little light when I have 500lbs in the bucket!
Great Tractor, Great loader! Good job making it, i have a Gravely 8122 i completely restored but not a loader, i have a wheelhorse d-160 with a loader, i ahve a crappy video of it up now but ill be sure to make a new one soon! try to look into that pump problem? it would bug the heck out of me to have it that slow... but then again its better then nothing at all!
@Redneckfarmer77, I am glad to see how many people have Gravelys! I am most likely going to start selling the loader kit this coming summer for this tractor and similar ones. I'd love to see the wheelhorse with a loader, those are great. My brother had a great 1958 wheelhorse that he sold a few years ago.

@yamato7210, Thanks, yes it is a 400 series (432 I think). If you look close, you can see that the bucket is attached by a quick-attachment setup too, although I didn't build forks or anything for it yet!
@hammerdwn20 Yeah, I agree. Since I barely built pressure with a full load, I am going to rebuild the pump on there with higher flow internals. There is limited space between the PTO shaft and the loader frame cross tube.
its nice but yet needs a diff driver

@ymeunier, thanks! Yes it is fun, but definitely not worth it if you don't need to do more landscaping, etc.

Excellent job fabricating the loader. I have one also, its Wright Way.

@joepinehill, Thank you, I appreciate the compliment! After searching, looks like Wright Way is an attachment company?
skrade3 1 year ago
@skrade3 They built loaders at some time, I could find very little history on the company, I'm guessing they competed with KwikWay.

Great work on the loader fabrication!. And your tractor is gorgeous, that's a 400 series, right?

@yamato7210, Thank You! Its a 432 commercial. I'll have to post the pictures on the web of the whole process of restoring/building.
