Great Job 👍!!!

Thanks so much for your video on your diy fel. I just bought a '77 bolens lawn tractor (h14xl), which came with a 38" snow blower, and a 26" bulldozer blade. Both are hydraulic, and run via the hydrostatic trans.
I have a bucket kit that is missing several pieces, but bcs of your video, I am in the process of making a front end loader very similar to yours. The exception is that I'm using 4 HD 300# electric actuators to lift the bucket, & perform the dumping function. Your information has been very very good, and has helped me with the frame building process.
Thanks for the info and best wishes.

[@robertvasquez3964]

How big is the tank?

[@kimbeesley7937]

Hydraulic tank is one gallon. Fuel is original

[@lextheap1638]

What HP is the engine?

[@kimbeesley7937]

17

[@60Oldfart]

Using counter weight is one thing but your stamped frame was not design for that and could fail badly. I used a 3/8" X 2 " strap to fish plate mine from back to front.. czcams.com/video/fEYf0EkZhhM/video.html

[@kimbeesley7937]

I later added a 1/4 thick channel inside the frame channel. I also but a 3/8 x 1 1/2 strap across rear differential to the frame bolts that attach the transaxle with added splines to support the axles. I broke the the original axle housing.
