Here is my homemade loader I built for my 1976 MTD 990 tractor. The tractor has a 16 hp engine dual range hydro(very heavy duty) a 3PH Cat. 0. I used a 3d drawing package to design the loader. I made this loader last year and finished it in the fall. Th bucket is a quick disconnect and holds 7 cu. ft. I used it all winter to remove snow and it work great. Here is a picture of the tractor when new.


Here is the 2D sketch.

The 3d design.

It had a hand lever for the transmission so I changed it to a foot operated one.


I added two outlet ports on the cross bar as I plan on making a grapple this summer.
