I really like the idea of the hollow square tube on the rear with the secondary purpose of adding sand for counterbalance weight. That’s good thinking! Nice overall upgrade
Hey Clark, I ordered this one from northern tool GEAR PUMP.517 CU IN Item# 10567 The mounting holes do not line up at all, so I had to make an adapter plate. But It works well.
Hi Bob, sorry for the delay, I spend most time in my garage these days. I started off with a 6 and 8 inch. I could only find them in spoked (at Grainger), and after some long hard working I shredded the 6 inch. I replaced it with a 5 inch (the largest solid I could find), and have been happy with it. I will probably drop the 8 inch down to a 7 inch. The 8 inch is too fast for anything other than idling down the road.
Do u by chance have the grainger part #s for the pulleys and there are three pulleys and you only mention a 6” I assume for the Hydraulic pump and the 8 inch for the drive pump

Thank you, the Predator was lighter than the stock Kohler but I have it mounted further back. So far the balance seems similar to what I had before.
Beautiful build
Thank you! Brutus has been serving me well.
Excellent video. Thank you
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the Positive Feedback Joshua.
I have a Bobcat 310 i’m going to upgrade the engine for a Kohler 22.5 but do I need to install the electric clutch again?
I guess you didnt get a reply? What did you do?
Hey Dan, I'm picking mine up this coming week. What type of attachments can I use with this thing? Thanks a ton!
I have a bucket, a smaller bucket with tines, a leveling bar, and a rock picker. I made all of them except for the regular 42 inch bucket.
I am wondering Wich hydraulic pump you used

What size pulleys did you use on the motor

The cost?
It was mostly time and fabrication. I probably spent about $1,500 on the materials and parts, for all the upgrades. It was a great investment.
Beautiful build
