    Winged back blade power unit / pump

    So I picked up this 14ft winged back blade for $200 with cylinders. Just needs some welding. I need to find a power unit / hydraulic pump for it. I did get pictures of spare one the guy had in stock (wouldn't sell). Problem is, his are custom build by a local company and are roughly $700-750...

    Your towing rigs and trailers

    . I would simply build your 460 up. I bet it would even tow that weight stock. There is a few cheap ways to liven up a 460. Aftermarket headers along with straight pipe, and mod the intake pipe so it breathes better. Google it though because I dont remember what all it was. My father's 94...

    Hydraulics Help Needed

    Another cheaper but not a great option is adding wheels to the back of your box blade or back blade. First picture shows just a few ideas. But you want it further out to get better results like the 2nd picture. Then leave your top link unhooked and you can adjust your height with the 3pt

    Using 2 stage pump as a "2 speed" transmission

    So I've got a mini articulating loader that was built from an old case trenchor. Completely hydraulic drive. I know it is not plumbed the best either. Has one pump feeding into the 2 spool valve for drive and turn then from the valve return to another 2 spool valve for the loader. It is...

    Fabricate a homemade front loader from scratch vs. buying an old rust one for $500.00

    I would side with buying and then modifying. Worst is that you have to run C-channel along your tractor to mount the loader onto. Look for a loader off a farmall. They have a good subframe that attaches to the rear axle and are good heavy duty loaders. You will have to convert it to hydraulic...
