Wow, that's a nice looking loader. You sure have some talent at building. Did you ever get your hydaulic pump going or are you building another one? Will you buy or make cylinders? I think you said on your Mack, another great project, that your cylinders did not work out. Did you ever think about just buying a longer air cylinder, cut it to length and then make new ends. That way you get a finished bore and rod assembly that you know will work. You would only need seals and bushing for the rod end.

Rich , I had trouble on the tele cylinders for the mack only do to not enough time on them (rushing ) what I have now acctually works better anyways . I'll be making these ( walk in the park ) I even found actual wiper seals that'll work for the size . I have a couple pumps from index to play around with . 2 have motors on them . the problem with these is the magnetic coupling which is no problem to change (again , lathe time the mill always is ready for more work for some reason ) ) I still have a sickle set of gears like what the jung pump uses , that I need to make a housing for .
