New 1872 loader project
 

Been working on this 1872 for about a year now and finally got it working. It started as a non runner that was sitting outside a while. Blasted it and painted with valspar IH red and white. The Kwikway loader was on a Sears suburban and then a 149. Had to modify the subframe to fit the super frame. It was a little tricky to clear the power steering and dual brake pedals but it worked. I had a buddy rebuild all the cylinders and lines for me. Then I added a hydro filter. The wheel weight bracket and a-frame are from Extreme. I added a winch and LED lights. The magnum 18 runs good with a carb rebuild and a Facet pump. Need to finish some loose ends but it's real close now. The Simplicity is repowered with a 24hp Briggs. Both should be ready to move snow when it arrives. I also put a sort video up.

Those are some nice machines.

Nice tractors! I like it the red and white.

Good looking machines, you have there!

Thanks guys!

Nice job on the 1872.

:ThumbsUp:

Tractors look great.:beerchug:

Very nice build. Shame to get dirty, but enjoy making them work.

Nice pair of tractors

VERY nice work!

Thanks!
Having a problem with the three point. It's not original to the tractor. The three point is original IH equipment. I bought the arm from Extreme. It all seamed to bolt on fine. The deck lift cylinder goes in and out when not connected but when I hook it up to the arm it barely moves. Adding the a-frame without any additional weight on it keeps the three point from lifting at all. I don't see anything binding. Not sure if the deck lift cylinder needs work or if it is a problem in the power steering block? Any thoughts?

Leave them parked outside like they are now and snow wouldn't dare drop at your place. Nice looking snow deterrents.

I'm assuming the loader is on a separate pump
as it as it should be??
On the hydro charge pump, you should have P. steering, then lift cyl for deck & rear lift.
The P steering is primary priority, then the lift cyl for 3pt/deck.
if you miss connected the hyd. lines from the hydro charge pump that runs this system, possibly that is the problem.
The Charge pump supplies the steering, then the AUX port on PS unit goes to the lift cyl. through the spool valve
Clear as mud?:bigthink:
