Hi ave13co,

Welcome!

OK, you know we're going to need some pics of your loader project, right?

What else are you working on at the moment?

Its going to take a while. I am retired and can only buy a little bit at a time. The hydraulics are simple with 4 cylinders and a 3 position 2 spool open centered spring centered directional control valve with power beyond(to add a mini hoe later) and a 6 gpm pump.
I have always been an operator ,mechanic, timber faller and never did really get into welding very much...so I am currently graduating from bugger welds to more refined welds(thanks to watching MANY youtube videos) and thanks to my Hobart 187. I had a Harbor Freight 90 amp welder but very quickly found out that it was total junk and threw it in the dumpster after first use of the Hobart. I have finished welding up the bucket and will be buying enough steel for the rest of the project soon.
