Haven't been getting the time in on the loader that I should, but I am still getting some stuff done. The boom is done. In the end I did go with two 2"X12" cylinders for the bucket curl. I also got a good start on the mast diagonal braces. That should be done tomorrow. It often takes me longer to decide on a plan than to actually do it. On the bottom end, a 1/2" bolt will go through the frame and a 1/4" thick pad that will be welded to the frame and the tubing that boxes the front. Lots of meat and tie in to take the jarring.

I spent a bit of time finding a good ergonomic spot for the joystick control valve and some preliminary plumbing planning.

Not a bad thing, it reduces expensive "do overs".

Looks good. Do your front tires clear the braces when they’re turned and the front axle is articulated? Looks very close.

^^^^ Yes, lots of tire clearance. The pic from above gives the impression of it being lower than it is.

The mast braces fought me at every turn. Right where I wanted them on the mast, it looked like it may interfere with the cylinder fittings. I tried various positions farther up the mast and didn't like any of those. I finally settled on just below the cylinder mount. Of course that screwed up my front mount plans.

But it all eventually came together. First pic is doing the final check for clearance at full steer and axle articulation. Then a close up of the front mount. I think there will be an extension plate added to that mount and another bolt for a push bumper/guard. And one of the rear mount.

Lots of room to work on the carb, S/G or other things on the sides.

I put the boom on, hopefully to stay. A couple hole saws and I had some 1/8" thick UHMW washers. These will keep the boom from rubbing steel on steel with the mast ears. Making it quieter and retaining grease at the same time.

Are you making a quick attach plate for the bucket? I see the frame you have welded up and I could see that as a quick attach or direct weld to your bucket. Curious what your thoughts were? I have thought about building a loader and have pondered what I would do. I have considered a mini skid steer quick attach like the Toro Dingo. Lots of after market attachments available with that style of mounting. I think that the size would be about right.

Google " mini skid steer quick attach" or "toro dingo attachments" for more ideas and to see what is available. I have seen premade quick attached weld on plates for about 60 US$

MSS1720, yes that's a quick attach. Being able to take the bucket off when not in use will be handy. I will likely build a short hoist boom for it too and probably a dozer blade.

Yesterday I drilled all the cylinder pins for grease and tapped for zirks. By the time I was done I probably drilled over thirty inches of steel. The joystick valve is mounted. With the cylinders in place I could measure for hoses and tally fittings.

A little air to one of the boom cylinders shot the bucket end up to head height. I'm happy with that. It's coming along now. Tomorrow I'll pick up fittings and about forty five feet of 3/8" hose and start cutting it into pieces.

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.
