Jude its nice to see your work! I'm thinking that the loader collection is growing,any thought of needing one of each model? At least then you would have the" whole set" :lol: Thanks Todd & Vince & Todd!! I'm not trying to acquire each model of loader but if I come across one for sale I'll most lik...

Thanks Ken, Mike & Bryan :beer: Ken, you're about 1.5 hours down the road from me. We'll have to get together sometime and talk shop :D I have a Danco RD1025 loader on the 71 now. Much sweeter loader because it has a cylinder on the bucket where as the RD1000 is a trip bucket. Here's a few pics of t...

Thanks guys!! Put Stowe,VT on the map! Already have it framed. Can't wait to see Georg's Original on the cover.

Awesome to see Georg back in action! Awesome about the film, must have been a nice boost for his spirit He's got such talent and passion, much respect for him!

Hey guys, long time no talk. Had a boatload of life happen and have been distracted from the forum. Met a woman a year ago and have been ultra busy :D I've still been cubbin and obtained a few more tractors and implements. Met a local maple syrup producer and he gave me a 100 & a 149 for free :beer:...

Craig, thanks bud! Here's a pic of the O' currently and from the looks of the weather it may remain in current state till next spring, but I'm looking at houses and trying to find one with a garage that I can heat. Jed, no down pressure with the RD1000. The RD1025 & 1075 had cylinders on the bucket ...

Yea :!: . Finally put the finishing touches on the 71 yesterday. Got the reproduction Danco decals on wednesday and they came out way nicer than I thought they would! Did cost me a pretty penny, but was well worth it as I have a file folder for future decals if needed. Now to tuck it away for the wi...

SaaaaWeeet Max! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow . We had our first snow here already. Looking mighty good Max, keep up the great work.

Tom, thanks bud! Jim, I appreciate your appreciation :D Will be rolling out early in the morn for the show!! And there's another Danco needing restored with my name on it :o . Nice Keith! There's a rumor floating around that I'd sleep with an M&W if I ever obtain one, that's just crazy :lol: Thanks ...

Fantastic work Max You'll be amazed how well it works when you fire it up on your sweet 102! Looking forward to seeing it back together and on the 102. I'll miss my cc36 this winter as I'll have a plow guy

No clue here, but I'm guessing it's definitely not an IH product.

Thanks Mike, Todd and Keith :beer: Todd, should hopefully have decals by friday :? . I'm hoping so as I'm heading to my first tractor show ever :D I'm taking the 71 to a show in Ely,VT. on Saturday and hope the decals are done for the show. Loader looks naked without them. I posted a pic of my curre...

Thanks Mike, Eric & Kieth :beer: Here's some pics in the sweet sun :D Been raining here for the last 2 days non-stop. Stoked that I now have no leaks :oops: . Didn't tighten one of the control valve fittings and had a little leakage on startup, but no issues yet and I've run it for 20 min.s :beer: K...

Finally got the bucket mounted tonight :D . Only waiting on decals now. Went to get new bucket pivot bar today, I asked for 1" cold rolled by 32". So guy goes and grabs bar length and measures, cuts it and then drills the holes for the cotter pins. The bill was $22 and I was stoked, till I got home ...

Thanks Todd :beer: IT's almost done!! If things go well, maybe by the end of the week I'll have it finished. Danco decal proofs to examine tomorrow :D I'll have some extra sets available to a fellow Danco-er. Have both side frames on now and ran most of the hydraulic lines. Need to get one more new ...

Thanks Max! and I'll take all the blame if you get a loader, specially if it's a Danco :D I went to the blacksmith yesterday and still no fender brackets so I took original bracket and bumper template to a metal fabrication shop. After waiting for 3 weeks from the blacksmith, these guys called me at...

Nice 73 Tom I love the 7hp cubs! I found my 71 pretty close to home and it's become my favorite cub. Should have no problem selling it if you do.

Some updates... Got the lift assembly and side frame back today :D from the repair shop since I don't have access to 220v for my welder :x . My buddy Larsen fixed her up good and I got to prep and primer and will probably paint on wednesday. Getting close now, can't wait to get it operating! Side fr...

Wait a minute, I gotta go run out to the shop and make sure my 72 is still in there . She's a bute Lew Looks alot like the one I just picked up, minus the pull start. I've yet to see one in person too. Looks great with fenders

Thanks guys :beer: I'm not putting this loader back in action(I think) as I want to show the 71/Danco. I would like to get another one to use though :D One I don't have to worry about scratching :lol: . Been wicked busy at work the past week, but got some time in yesterday and today on the rd1000. T...

LOL, wow I've seen some bad paint jobs in my day, but that's just horrible :D Would be nice if it was all tape and you could just pull it off, looks like that tape has been on there for a while and probably has become one with the paint underneath. I'd have a hard time taking it if someone tried to ...

Nice setup Rob! Cool thing is your dad saw this in action years ago!! Would be worthy of restoration for sure . Wonder how many cubs with Danco's there are in VT?

Yes save the fenders !!! My bracket is 5" wide. You may not be able to go wider or the tires will hit inside,especially when running chains... Thanks Lew :beer: I have the 4" brackets, the 5" ones wouldn't work either as I need 1-3/4" more space. I uploaded some pics of the mock up I did today. Mou...

Jude, The fenders have two different size mounting brackets.One is for the wider tires.Do your fenders have the shorter brackets? Not sure if the wider brackets will clear the loader mounts but it is worth checking before cutting up a good set of fenders.... Looks like you are coming along well. I ...

Thanks Mike! Got to thinking about the trouble I had mounting the pump up so I tried to attach one of the side frames today to see if that was all clear. Low and behold, I can't mount side frames and run fenders :x . Another lesson learned, that's why in all the Danco loader manuals you don't see an...

Thank a bunch Eric!! Nice to hear from ya and your avatar is sweet! Congrats again on getting the cover of Cadet Connection.

Thanks Max :beer: I put some time in on the bucket today. It's the only piece that didn't need any major work done so I got it prepped and put a coat of primer on. Will sand and prime one more time before paint. Also got the control valve rebuilt with new o-rings. Will try to get the one good side f...

Nice looking cub Lew! Does look like it was well taken care of. Great patina

WooHoo :D Hydraulic pump is installed hooked up!! Took a bit of fabrication, but took my time and did it the right way, the way it should have been done before! Everything is unaltered so this RD1000 will bolt right up to a 70 & 100 if I ever do take off the 71. Thanks Max! The PO obviously didn't k...
