These are the only two pictures I have of my 646 right now. First one was cutting wood and the second was moving our giant pumpkins this fall...

project loader in progress. and i have the bucket too.

I have a Bolens 1886 with a home made loader on it.
The guy that built it did an OK job I guess but he did do a couple of 'goofy' things.
1st, when you look at the pics, you will see that he used single action cylinders on the lift arms. That meant no down pressure. I have since corrected that and it now has double action lift cylinders.
2nd, with the way he mounted the attachment point for the single bucket tilt cylinder and the fluid reservoir, he didn't leave much room to raise the hood. It was almost impossible to gut gas in it. To correct that, I cut the hood at the seam, and added hinges so that I could get access to the fuel tank. I stole that idea from another MTF member

I park mine with the bucket in the dump position. Even then the cutting edge has to be on a 4x4 to get the hood fully opened.2nd, with the way he mounted the attachment point for the single bucket tilt cylinder and the fluid reservoir, he didn't leave much room to raise the hood.

This is my MF1655 with a Wright Way loader. Only the arms and cylinders are still original. Here it is digging out my driveway to a depth of 3' to get rid of some red clay that was heaving it during winter. Found a few old car parts that were buried in there and got rid of them, too.
Thank you.
It's kinda strange the way Bolens are distributed.
There are places in the country where you can't hardly turn around without tripping over one, and other places where they seem like mythical beasts
In a way it's kind of surprising that there are so many out there, as the Bolens tractors were always one of, if not the most, expensive in their class.
Here's the trusty old 140 shortly after I got it.

Heres my 960 with loader im not sure if my cylinders are upside down or if it would even make a difference maybe tudor would chime in as i feel like it should lift more but it has still been very handy

Gotta have a few Ford LGT opensided pics on here too.
The loader has just recently been determined to be a Johnson Hyd. 10TC.
I've been working it hard all summer and it is running topless to save that classic Ford fiberglass grill from damage.
The first two are of turning and stacking the pony poop pile.
Last pic is of a new sump pump drain line she dug in for me.

Another in-the-works loader project. Hopefully I can show it mounted to the 140 before too long. Johnson Workhorse Model 12:

Thought I would post some more eye candy!
