I took a few more photos of the rest of the loader frame; this is a view of the setup bolted together on the shed floor without the tractor. Funny to think that this did not look out of place on the tractor before I did the overhaul; definitely going to need a coat of paint before it gets near it again.
The attachment of the support for the control valve is kinda amusing
I have a new valve with a third function so I'll make a new support for it, might be quite a job to cut that one off.
These two pieces are what I have cut out of the ends of the frame arms where the bucket pivoted. I've lost a little bit of length but will regain it with the quick-attach setup.
Back to the new stuff. I got the pivot barrels finished, reamed to 1.5" with this old adjustable reamer, actually did a decent job
The four barrels ready to install,
and one pair welded in
I was on track to get them all welded in and the arm ends ready to tack back in place but I ran out of mig gas as I was tacking the second pair in place. Had to call it a day.
