Default Kwik way loader.

I thought I would start a new thread on this project, here's the pics you've all been asking for. Overall it's in great shape, the wear edge on the bucket looks like new so I doubt it's seen much abuse. I don't believe this loader was originally made for a Cub, the spool valve is on the wrong side( which I will be fixing ) and the subframe was welded onto the other tractor so I'm going to need to make some brackets. After closer inspection this morning it turns out that curl cylinders are in better shape than I thought, the rust you see is all the further in the cylinders go and when I pulled them out they're actually in decent shape.

Pic of a cylinder after 10 seconds with some emory cloth. The pits can barely be felt with a finger nail and I received a tip from another member on how to repair the pits to save from having the rods re-chromed so I will give that a try since I don't have that kind of coin right now.

Tim, the spool valve on my Kwik-Way is on the left side. It was on a 1650 so that is why, opposite the hydro shifter lever. I have seen that loader set up either way. If I had it on a gear drive or a 1X8-9 tractor I would want it on the right side. If you need any pictures of the loader mounts let me know and I will send you some.
Good luck
Tom

Pics of the mounts would be great, I'd like to make them look as close to original as I can.

Tim, I have one of those loaders too. I'll see if I can dig up some pics too. Those are nice loaders with the self leveling bucket design.

Good luck on the project Tim.

I'd put a single stick valve on it.

You can't do anything to repair the pits on the chrome. It may or may not eat the seals right out of it, but it will eventually eat them up. There is a company in Terre Haute, Indiana that can make new chrome rods. (Or a whole new cylinder if need be.) No idea the cost. Last I checked, it was cheaper to have a new rod made than to rechrome an old one.

The single stick control is soooo nice to use!

I have found oftentimes that it is cheaper to replace the rods on smaller cylinders, too.

Tim, once you get that new toy looking terrific you are going to use it everywhere. They are not able to lift much...but you will try it anyway.

Can I assume that since I've seen this loader with the spool valve on either side that the tower on the right is also fluid tight and can be used as a reservoir? I thought about switching the towers from side to side but it would require alot of cutting and welding to move all the brackets around. I'd like to add a filter to this also, anybody add one and have pics?

Good looking loader, Tim! Glad someone got it who will take care of it and use it. I've thought it would be nice to have one, but I don't really want to put on one a narrow frame. Maybe one day I'll get a larger tractor and have a loader.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
