Part 4 of a multipart series covering the entire process of designing, building and installing a quick-attach front loader for a Case/Ingersoll garden tractor.
In this episode we fabricate the actual steel structure of the loader. The crossmember, permanent upright receivers/standards, and entire removable loader assembly (upright towers, lift arms, and front adapter for the removable bucket/attachment.) are all laid out, cut out, and welded up before being assembled/installed into their respective positions.
Then we lay out and weld on the the brackets and bosses to fit up the hydraulic cylinders.
