Hi All, New to the forum, I just picked up a new to me 1450 with a homemade loader.
The loader is ran off the rear end and seems to lack power it’ll lift max about 200 lbs very slowly. I am assuming this should be able to lift more and is probably due to the fact it doesn’t have its own hydro pump. Moves snow great as is but come summer I have some gravel I want to move and I don’t think it’ll be up for the task. Upon research on the forum I’ve decided I need a separate pump, hoping to run this pump off the electric pto up front to be able to disengage for winter starting.

Three questions:
1)Does this pump look right? from the research I have done seems like I need about a 4gpm pump.
2)I couldn’t find much information about reservoir size, are there any recommendations? I know a lot of people use the loader arm.
3)How do I bleed the current system, it seems like my left lifting cylinder has some air in it, seems to lag the right one by about a half inch, making my bucket un even.
Hopefully I’ll figure out how to get a couple photos loaded
