Replacement loader time!
 

I was able to bring the loader home today. I have some older pics and I'll post one of those now and get newer one's tomorrow. I didn't think about taking any pics when I got home I wanted to see the kids and hug my wife that was ready for me to be home 3 hrs before I got there.:biggrin2:

As you can tell it's a Kwik-Way loader. The 100 is Jude's:beer2: I'm just going to use it until he gets down here.:biggrin2: It will end up on the 125. Evan has said he'll share it with me. I don't feel so bad looking at the Danco on the shelf now!

I've tried to sell this loader for 6 months now so I just bought it. No more bucket envy for me! The bucket is huge! I've got some tilling to do tomorrow, so it will be later in the day before I get the new pics posted.

That looks exactly like mine did before I put it on my 682. You're going to have to make some mods to the uprights to raise them so it'll clear the front wheels on a WF tractor. The cylinders wind up close to/on top of the front wheels when you are digging with the bucket. That subframe looks a bit better than the really cheezy one that the 124 that originally had my loader mounted to it was using.

Looking good!!! That bucket is crazy big!You going to have it at plow day:biggrin2:

That bucket is obscene! Holy Cow!! :bigeyes:

Thanks Matt! It has a diffrent sub frame then yours. I just visited your site to read that again the other day. I miss typed It's going on a 125 but I would love to put it on a wide frame.:biggrin2:

Thanks Ben! It all depends if your going to be there at the plow day! I love that huge bucket!:beer2:

HAHA I told ya no more bucket envy for me!

Awesome loader, Duke! It looks even better in person! :ThumbsUp:

Thanks Allen! Sorry I didn't let you get any seat time with it but come on over over and I promise I'll share.

Thanks Bill! I tried to sell it to a forum member in IL but at that time the price wasn't right at that time. As we talked over the past several months the price came down so I just have to have it! I was even going to meet the guy in Ohio. I'm always looking for a reason to go see my wife's family in Ohio so keep that in mind!

Duke,
Nice loader:High5:! Glad you were able to finally get it home. Looks pretty good on that 100. Maybe you should talk Jude out of the tractor! They are nicer to have on a hydro, though. That bucket is huge. That is the nice thing about the Kwik way buckets, they are bigger and rounded which helps especially snow load easier. Kinda rolls into the bucket. Not like you'll have worry about too much snow:biggrin2:. Great, now I have bucket envy:Bowdown2:.
Congrats! And of course, more pics when you're able, :beerchug:.

Hey, I've seen that pic before:HeeHee: Will be nice to see some pics of it in Your yard!! Thanks for all the pics last night buddy:beer2: Congrat's Duke! Now you need to get a vid cam so we can see some action footage:biggrin2:

That's the snow bucket that he's got, and it's the same one I have as well. I think they also made a dirt bucket that is about 2/3 the size, but most I've seen had the snow bucket.

Duke, that thing look's horable, You should just load that up with all of Jude's stuff and have him drop it off here on the way by :biggrin2:. Just kiddin bud, Looks great, congrats.

I'm glad to be the one not having bucket envy!:biggrin2: It's nice to finally have it home.

Got to get my cam fixed or replaced! Got some pics to post!

Good info Matt thanks!

Haha I'll bring a rear blade with me too if you have the room for it. Jude would never miss one of them would he?

I got some new pics. Evan was good enough to help me wash it. He was so excited he didn't get out of his PJ's to do it.:biggrin2:

The rear end is a tad bit light so I had to do something about it. I could lift the back up with two hands and the rear tires would come off the ground when turning to fast! Shh don't tell Jude I've added tires to the 100. Think he'll be able to tell the diffrence?:biggrin2: Oh pics of the first full load!:beer2: I added wheel weights as well. The loaded tires added 92lbs each and the wheel weights 51 lbs each for a total of 286lbs! The tires I took off was 26lbs total!

Duke,
Sweet pics!! Bet those loaded tires helped a bunch. That thing looks mean, kind of a cross between a dragster and monster truck! Thanks for the pics. Jude should just let ya keep that 100 for awhile. Sounds like he's got plenty to load and take home with him :biggrin2:.

Tight fit my friend!! Wow, like a 1/4" of space between frame and tires:bigeyes: Looking good and nice to see it home!

Very cool pics, Duke! Love the big tires! :ThumbsUp:

Those help a lot! They really chage the look of the 100. Maybe he'll forget about it.:Pray:

Yeah it's pretty close fit. I need some foot rest as well. Got to watch my foot placement atm. It's great to have it home!

hey guys how does the whole assembly for the bucket attach to the tractor, I have a 1200 would a bucket work for mine?

Go to Matt Gs site and look at his 682 with loader. He has the same loader that he made fit his 682 and he goes into detail on how and what he had to do to make the sub frame fit the 682 which would be pretty close to your 1200 frame.

Ok I got some time to get some more pics of the loader. Evan took some pics and he moved a little and I'll look a bit thinner in the head but it gives you a chance to see how high the loader goes up (I'm 6 ft tall). I've got pics of the sub frame. Evan had to point out how high I got the front wheels up.:biggrin2: Oh put a little to much hydro oil in the reserve tank and it squrited out the extra.:beer2: Good shot of the wheel weights I took off the 125 to help keep the rear end on the ground.

Oh about forgot this is the dealer decal from the dealership on the 71 hood.

Attachment 9322

That could be done :)..

That looks great!

Love the pics, Duke! :ThumbsUp:

Nice pics Duke! Thanks for posting the decal on the 71 hood, I did forget about it.

Nice Dwayne, I'll take 2 of those also!

Had to take a nap today, not feeling to well, and had a dream that I was moving snow with the Danco:biggrin2:

Thanks Jude! I hope you get feeling better soon!

Danco dreams are great! But Kwik-Way dreams are better.:biggrin2:

It is amazing how far that cub has traveled,I live about three miles from where that dealer was located.

That's pretty cool! I'll ask the guy that put the hood and grill on the 100 if he had the whole tractor or just got the hood and grill and where he got those from.

It's coming back to New England in a few months, where it belongs:biggrin2:

Well, lets just say that the hood is definitely coming back to VT with me:biggrin2:

Is there something your forgetting to tell me Jude?!:bigthink:
