MF 565 - looking to fit a loader

[multi power]

I have some extra tractor spools that I can add.

Is that extra slices? Or a complete block? You can plumb another block into the curcit

Put in 2 more while you are at it.

I think I have got two extra slices that would go in the block to have levers in the cab on the right if that makes sense.

Yes perfect sense .

I though I would then pipe the extra slices to the loader frame rather than pipe in to create female connections at the rear.

Put a tee in so you can have pipes to the front and also to the rear.
I didn't and learned the hard way

 

[two-cylinder]

You should be putting female connections for the loader at the front just under the cab.
(beam lift to the left and crowd to the right)
If you think you may occasionally need feed to the rear as well, plumb a change over valve in each line so you can switch flow either way .

We've both just written the same!

 

[Massey_3115]

Good idea, I hadn't thought about putting a t in it.

A valve is better: if not you will have to unplug the loader to use the rear spool -or you will have the loader moving too!

When we used our 80 loader I turned the rams around so as the rod end fitted the beam and put a feed to both sides, took a few seconds longer to yolk the loader but was much quicker plumbed that way as to having the oil go all the way to the centre beam of the loader and then back to the left hand lift ram and back again on its lowering cycle.

You explained it much better. I was going to (when I get round to putting a tee in) put a simple stop tap on the loader lift line, then that spool would be handy to tip a trailer etc

 

[Massey_3115]

That's great, will help with my plumbing!

I've seen a 80 loader with correct brackets, but doesn't have the ram and associated linkage for tilt, is it easy to retro fit a single ram system for this?

Has it got the 'bracket' for the crowd ram to fit on?
Some only were trip loader.
There must be plenty of bent and broken loaders about to get the tipping bits from

 

[Massey_3115]

Yes it's got the bracket I think where the ram would attach to.

 

[multi power]

That's a good start. I took the rest of the linkage etc off when I fitted a headstock and the ram fits straight to that

 

[Massey_3115]

What head stock did you use?

It was just a home made thing I got from somebody's scrap pile and altered it to fit. It picks up quickie stuff.
Took several lots of welding and cutting to get it right. I think I'm happy with it now so I will get a nice tidy one made up one day

Get the mf80 loader manual for a tenner . I wanted an 80 loader for my 590 having the manual made sure i got the correct model to fit , there r 2 different belly brackets and 2 if not 3 different front ones , i made my front bracket and modified the belly 1 as didnt come with loader .

 

[Massey_3115]

Ok great That's you. In my research in seen two type of front bracket, one for a 3cyl engine and one for a 4cyl engine, and have two belly plates, one for a 2wd and the other for a 4wd.
