I had a bad noise that I thought was from the PTO and it wasn't. I'll never know for sure if it was the balance gears running on badly spalled shafts or the rough crank bearings. Crank bearings are new and the balance gears are not going back in.

Well with the pesky engine rebuild out of the way, I could get back to the loader build. Steel prices are high right now, but I was able to find a piece of 12 gauge at a local place that sells crop steel. It had a bulge right in the middle, so I negotiated a good price. As a cheap senior a good deal makes my day and a little press and hammer work took care of the dent.
 Getting metal bent here is a costly deal so out came the plasma cutter. And an extra fifteen minutes of welding will save me $100. I waffled quite a bit about the dimensions, but the plate size helped make my decision. I didn't want the bucket overly deep, but still some volume for possible snow clearing. Ended up 22" deep, 18 1/2" high and 42" wide. The box is tacked up and ready to weld. I have a lot of 3/8" X 2" flat bar, so that means that's what the cutting edge is going to be and I'll have to dig around for any bolsters.

Made some bucket progress over the last few days. My son-in-law works at Finning Tractor and he keeps an eye on the scrap steel bin for me, so I end up with quite a bit of yellow steel that gets repurposed. I like free!!
The bucket is pretty much done except for a bit of welding.

And the first scoop of snow!! I have no weights on the wheels or rear yet, so with a full bucket the one rear tire came of the ground when I got off the seat. I had to dump some so I could take a pic. I put the set of wheel weights I have back on after, but I'm going to need a bunch of weight behind. I better get busy building a sleeve hitch and a weight system. I can see that power steering would be a real asset too.
The loader definitely has lots of speed even at a high idle and plenty of lift.

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.
