Kwik Way loader
I picked this Kwik Way loader up 4 or 5 years ago and never got around to installing it.
DSCN0659.jpg I found it at a dealer in Alabama and we made a deal. It was missing the pump and the bracket the pump mounts to but everything else was there, I think. I had the sub-frame mounted on my 1772 for 3 years but never got around to messing around with the rest of it. I've been looking at getting a plasma cutter or an Esab Rebel welder for the last few months but figured I needed a plasma more than another welder right now. I found this one online at Welders Supply for $475 cheaper than 2 local welding stores....that is another story.  DSCN3349.jpg DSCN3346.jpg DSCN3350.jpg I started working with cardboard on making a mount that I think will work. This is what I came up with to start. DSCN3348.jpg I had to subtract about 0.332" for the torch head off of the original pattern to get my original sized piece. Holy crap does this thing cut fast and clean. DSCN3351.jpg DSCN3352.jpg

I have never used one of these before and I don't think they existed when I was in School. I cut this 1/4" thick piece out in less than a minute.
DSCN3354.jpg This was my pattern I used. These are the only 2 places that the cardboard got warm enough to show signs of any heat damage  DSCN3355.jpg Here is what the cut looks like. I'm sure it will get better with practice. DSCN3356.jpg Here they are on the 1772. My plans are to use some 1.5" x 1/4" square tubing I had left over from a job to mount the upright supports to. It will be 20" long and go across the front so that each side can bolt to it. DSCN3357.jpg DSCN3360.jpg I will probably mount a removable piece of 1/4 on the front of this to protect the pump. I guess I will need to get an order in to Surplus Center on some fittings and miscellaneous parts. That's all for tonight.

Nice work Todd! You can't beat a plasma cutter for that type work!

It's not a perfect cut, but if it was, everyone would expect "perfect" every time.
 Hey, all bs aside, that's good for the first time out. So this is the legendary Kwik Way I've heard about. Glad to see you'll get it mounted...

Your 1772 will be a nice tractor to operate that loader! Nice work!

Very nice addition. As you use the plasma cutter more, you will notice yourself becoming smoother. It's a practice thing.
Still looks fine though

Congrats on the new toy, err I mean tool. I have had the same plasma cutter for a few years just and wish I had bought it sooner than I did. It is a real time saver and with some practice you will get much better at using it. I have successfully cut 1/2 inch material with mine, Hypertherm claims you can cut 5/8 but I have not tried yet. To help insure clean dry air I mounted a water separator/regulator directly to the air inlet on mine. I think you will really enjoy using it on your future projects.

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.
