Methos,
I think you have been too busy cataloging Jude's powerball win
. The red hose is the intake hose for the pump. Runs from the bottom of the right stanchion to the pump. She's been oozing from down there and I'll replace that hose. Glad it's not the valve!! That could've been a problem
. Yepper, the pump
should line up with the back of the motor. Just gotta add a pulley back there. Finally got the 129 in the shop and hope to get it ready for the loader mount. Gonna clean up the loader and put it on the 129 and see how it works. Then I'll modify as needed. I'll snap more pics as I start to put it on. Can't wait to see your replacement FEL. Should be gettin' close to the unveil?
Sminkey,
More pics to follow as time permits. Bet June can't get here soon enuf for ya!!
Later all.
