Tim’s payloader and generator BS thread

Fail on the paint...
like a husky i see 3 different shades of orange...
Told the sandblaster/painter to paint it Safety orange cause that's what he had laying around. With my budget, I'm not too concerned about a perfect match.
Why cant you add some plate @ the top ( for a new upper pin hole and bushing ) and make new pin holes,,, like lower the bucket and make new pin holes.
That is what I had first considered but I think it will be less work to cut the whole think off and move it. I'm not too concerned with pretty on the snow bucket. Like most snow buckets I've seen, it looks like it was cobbled out of scrap steel.
I have a grapple for the loader that may need the same treatment.
 
Have a question for you fellas. You may or may not remember me tearing apart the rear of my 244 to fix a no raise issue on 3pt.

Its been working well but the other night, it was pretty cold, the 3pt was cycling up and down, albeit just like .5” both ways but as the machine warmed up it stopped.

Chalk it to just cold fluid?

1/2” both ways sounds like a lot of travel, to me.

Cold enough for any water in the system to have froze? If so, I would add a few ounces of Isopropyl alcohol to the hyd oil..

what kind of pressure did you get from her? i had a whole stack of little problems affecting the DB and i'm not done chasing all those yet. i still may have to get a new pump. i did have her lift doing all it supposed to but at 450psi if would raise a back blade. lots of rotten o rings in it. since you had her apart i dont think water is the problem. could be the wrong fluid? the uk guys are telling me to use motor oil straight 30. eye dont see a difference between 30 motor oil and 30 hydro but they say it is?
