I am impressed by your your wifes support. its Amazing to have someone in your corner thats your biggest fan ! great build ! im going to go to school on your build, thank you

How did you measure the hydraulics to make sure they work?

You did a bad ass job buddy

Gettin ready to build one for my 1981 216, got some good tips and ideas from you thanks!!

Awesome. I have a 216 I welded up a bucket to make one of these a few years ago and never finished, thanks for sharing your design and giving me inspiration to Finnish this project !!

I hope you are still enjoying the loader a year later. I am curious though if you wish you had foot controls to drive the tractor or is this manageable using the hydrostatic speed lever plus the two levers for the loader and then the steering wheel? Also, I am curious if you think you could have made this taller uprights and then shorter pieces going forward so that your bucket could be closer to the front of the tractor? I would need to change the way the cylinders mount but my goal is to get it back for space savings as well as to help manage the load not that yours looks like it’s struggling at all! I wanted to build mine last summer but never happened so relooking at options and your setup is ideal for the smaller machines like your 314 and I have a 314 and closed frame 316 so I’m building for virtually the same machine.

What you use for hydraulic and control.

Я тоже так сделал👍😊 но ещё и трактор собрал сам😊

You are using a level when the tractor is setting in a unlevel surface, if you ever do it again I would suggest to level up the tractor frame. Still looks good though.

What kind of back tires. Do u have on it. Do u have to. Chance the. Wheels. This is tim from Ohio. Keep the video coming.

That. Is what I am trying to. Do.

How heard was it to put hydride line. On. It.

Did u have to change the tires size at all

Could have used electric actuators instead of hydraulic. Would have saved that’s $300 for lines and fittings.

music music music???? what gives???

Iv got to get something like this for my old speedex the hydraulics are too far gone do you have a Amazon link for this

Just out of curiosity how close are you to Wythe co Virginia??

Hi Justin. Is it ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to plumb in an "on/off" switch/valve for the rock cylinder..? Thank you for your video.

OH YEAH......how far from the bottom of the bucket did you put the bracket for the center/curl cylinder..? Being the cylinder is at the certain length anyway, it will probably only have so much relief, but I was curious where the center of the cylinder pin is from the bottom of the bucket. Thanks.

Could you possibly measure the length of your hoses to each cylinder..? It looks like yours are the perfect length, and I'd like to get the lengths right the first time. Thank you.

And just a tip.......when I am working on this thing, I put it up on cinder blocks. It raised it up another 7-8 inches, and was much easier to work on. The tractor won't move forward or back when not running.

When I mounted the H2 hydraulic control box underneath, I used the original hole on the top, but drilled a new one at the bottom. This put the box at a 45 degree angle underneath, and lined up PERFECTLY with the hydraulic lines from the transmission. I didn't even have to tweak anything. They just connected up straight away.

As far as the snap rings around the hydraulic connections up front.......I had to use the 90 degree snap ring pliers. It was a little bit of a pain, but I got them eventually.

Surplus center has the best deal i have found on hydraulic parts

Great team work y’all. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

Do you actually have a diagram for this loader build?

You used the term "shimmed the relief valve to give it more pressure". How do you "shim" it..? Thanks for the video. I'm currently building this unit for my 314.

What is the thickness of the steel on the bucket...? 1/4"..? or 3/16"

Thanks, I enjoyed watching it. I have a 318 that friends think should be replaced as I am always working on it but they just do not understand.

I've had those linear actuators on my snow blower attatchment they all ways froze up on me the electric moter filled with watter and ruined the motor I see they might work in your setting but not sure

As a man about your age I always say the same thing to young kids who get discouraged. Someone once told me the moment you can't do something is the moment you tell yourself that. You can do anything you put your mind too

Nice build. I would like to build a loader for my JD 322. can you supply the measurements for the lift arms? What size hydralic cylinders did you use and how long? Thanks

Do you have any videos of your tractor plowing using the actuator? It would be nice to see one and see how it works.

Awesome video, I have a John deer 212 with the same 3-point hitch. I already have the actuator but was looking for a video on how to make it work. Thanks for a good idea. 👍

He probably felt like a kid riding around in that cool toy 😎. Much props to you bud and your build. Learned a thing or too from you.

Cost of being a bad-a**.......priceless

Awesome job you build the same as me do it as you go, great build and great video too

Thank you for the beautiful sunset scenery 🙂

Can you provide link to bucket teeth?

OUTSTANDING ...!!! ,,gonna build one similar for my 1974 sears suburban ..!!

Did you use the on board hydraulics or did you add an additional pump? Thanks and great job on the build.

Where did you get another tractor for the parts you needed I need a grill for a 330 by the way great job

Where can I purchase an accuator like your s? I'm inspired to build one!I built mine it's manual but dirt is heavy

Very nice👍

I like the front tires you have on the 314 what size are they and what size is the wheel ? Love the videos.

Great build. I would like to see the specs of the hydraulics. Thanks.

Did you modify your rear deck?

Nice job on the J D loader.

Love it! I have a 314 too.

I've watched all of the loader videos. I'm very impressed with your work. Like I said on your 1st video, I have a buford bucket built by hosier Pete out of Kentucky. I love my loader too. Thanks again.
