Henderson loader questions

[radioguy41]

I now have a Henderson loader for the Cub, thanks ajhbike, and have some questions.

I believe at one time TM had some photos and information on their website that is no longer available. Does anyone have copies of it that could email it to me?

Is there any chance anyone has a copy of the hydraulics schematic?

Are there any photos/illustrations of the installation process other than the manual?

Any detailed photos/closeups of an installation would be greatly appreciated.

This is the style/model I have:

Thanks. Is that yours and if so, where's you get the decal?

[Barnyard]

Not mine. It belonged to Bud Sottong before he passed away. Photos were taken at his CubFest several years ago.

[radioguy41]

Oh, ok, thanks.

Here some pictures of one I have

Thanks. Interesting how the upper support bars were filled in. On mine someone added bracing underneath instead.

I need to replace two of the steel rods shown below, the two upper ones. What I'm not sure of is the type of steel since there is a lot of pressure applied to them when operating the loader. Anybody ever come across any specs for something like this?

I would look into shaft stock

Rather than being 2 separate rods, I would think that would have originally been 1 continuous rod. Probably was hot roll steel, originally.

Yes, they are one piece rods but in total there are three of them. One was saved intact but two were cut. You can see the lengths in the illustration I posted above.

Made some progress this morning. I was able to break loose the two cylinders at the upper rod ends. I can move each about 30-40 degrees so it's a matter of time until they are completely loose and I can wedge them off.

My guess woud be hot rolled steel too!

Quick internet search
From https://www.mkmetal.net/steel/bar/hot-rolled

Hot rolled steel
"Tensile Strength 67,000 psi"

1" hot rolled bar has a area of .7854 square inches.

67,000 x .7854 = 52,621.8 pounds of pressure to stretch your 1" bars

[radioguy41]

I'm pretty sure it's not alloy steel, high carbon steel, or any kind of hardened steel. My Sawzall cuts through it like butter. I'm looking at grade 1018 rods, 59,465 psi tensile strength.

AISI1018 Carbon Steel is a low carbon steel which is characterized by good weldability, good machinability, high strength and impact properties in either the normalized or hot forged condition. SAE1018/AISI1018 steel is widely used for screw machine parts, shafts, pins, spindles and rods.

I was able to remove both cylinders this afternoon, once I cut the ends of the shaft off.

Picked up a little hydraulic tool to help with getting those shaft stubs out (and some other things) but it'll have to wait for Spring.
The frame is in storage in the shed for the Winter.

I had this posted a few years back. I had one on a '44 B, traded the tractor with loader last year.

Here is a video of it when I first bought it.
