Today I found a loader that will fit a cub in an equipment scrap yard/used sales yard outside of a small town we're doing a job in, 35 miles south of home. I talked to the owner, and he said he'd let it go for $75 (I know, how do I do that?). Looks to be in very good structural shape, very strong, with a good bucket. It will need work. There is no pump/valve, the lines are shot, and I'll have to add a cylinder on the bucket (it's a trip bucket, and I don't want that). Other than that, I think I'm good. I know I'll need a two way valve, a pump, a reservoir and two lines, what am I missing? I'm going to get a 149 to put it on, since from what I hear/read 100's aren't real good for loaders. My boss has spent his whole life farming and collects/works on John Deeres, he said he'll help me get it going, so I'm good on that. Am I forgetting any parts?


Also, how much work am I going to be looking at to fab mounts for this? There were mounts on it, but I couldn't get a good look at them with all the snow. The guy said that when he stuck it there a few years ago the cylinders were good, but I'm not holding my breath.
