I see Ford 8N's all over town in the residential neighborhoods with these boom poles on them. I once saw a guy pick up a set of pre-formed 5 step concrete steps that were against his house, because he wanted to build a deck. He estimated those concrete steps weighed 1500 lbs.
I bought a used Oliver boom for my Ford 661 at a farm sale, the most useful accessory I had. It was constructed like your diagram except a plate w/chain eyelet replaced the ring. A 5/16 end plate on the centerline finished the boom and stringer rod welding with a slot into the round hole above formed the chain eyelet. The hole could be large for the chain hooks to clear with a link slot on the bottom. The hole diameter cleared the link's width while the slot cleared the link's thickness. A chain with one hook removed inserted through the hole provided unlimited link by link adjustments. Using a second chain with end hooks provided additional load positioning or a smaller link thickness for more options.
Awesome work Josh! Very resourceful! That implement is not only cheaper but it is built better that one purchased from TSC or any other store! Built not bought!
That thing is COOOL, and way better then the store bought chinnese one. Another AWESOME build video buddy. Thanks for sharing the video Josh, Have a great rest of the week
I like your design better then the one I cobbled together for my 66 MF203 I spent more time grinding all the rust so I could weld then actual welding itself. Good job!
Seems too heavy! Cool. I have a Carolina engine hoist I don’t need since getting the pallet forks. I wonder if I could cobble it together keeping the hydraulic cylinder.
CLEVER!!!!!!! You saved enough for a Genny Garage Refrigerator!!! Fun to watch you figure it all out and accomplish the task! NICE JOB!!
Everything is about saving money for beer!

Super handy. I can't wait to use this one.

I just made it so heavy I need another picker to put it on/take it off 😂
@Quick Speed Shop Haha, the never ending picker madness! 😆

Thanks Ray. Good luck with geocaching.
Get a set of Pat's cat 1 quick hitch for your Kubota. Makes for struggle free connect-
ing of your implements.
I've seen those quick hitches, but everything is expensive. I am going to build a SSQA for the front so I can change between the bucket and forks.

Hours spent grinding is half the fun.

I'm sure you could
Why do you need a boom pole with a front end loader ?
Why not?
I was looking for a mower deck. Couldn’t find any.
I sold mine in a day so I guess they are desirable even though the tractor is 20 years old.
@@QuickSpeedShop I ended up paying the big bucks for a new one. The used ones I found were junk or 2000 miles away.
You would have been better off with a jib for the front end.
I wanted to build a boom pole for the rear. The front has a loader.
your idea of heavy may not be heavy
