Donaldson Air Filtration System for a 225hp Skid Steer Loader.

If you use the Chevy NV4500 and the Advance Adaptors Short Throw Clutch, you can use the FJ60 clutch master.

The 3/4 ton and 1 Ton Dodge uses a Huge throwout arm assy that needs a lot more movement to engage and disengage properly. In order to do that, you have to have a large volume clutch master. This assy is from a 1993 - 2001 Dodge 3/4 ton Diesel truck.

If I had done more research before buying a NV4500, I would not have to do all of this.


In order to mount it directly to the fire wall, I would have had to cut the rib out of the fire wall.

Hey, i like your clutch master riggin. Just wondering what year that master is from? Mine is slightly different looking, and is a 7/8 bore. Not sure what yours is. From what i can tell im going to mount mine on the firewall.
Have you figured out what on the firewall doesnt need to be there yet, haha

Had it lying around?

I took my "Possibly would Fit" measurements and stopped by a few tractor salvage yards over the last few months. I ended up at a New Holland Dealership with a tape measure.

Brand new the assy was $130.


It has 4" intake and 4" discharge.

OT: Mace, I'll send you my 60 steering box to be ported too

 

[D'Animal]

Dan, Dusty ported his 80 sereies steering box (pretty much the same as a 60 series). he will be doing my 60 sereies for me. I can do it anytime I get back if you have that long. If in a hurry, give him a call and he can probably do yours quickly for you

OT: Mace, I'll send you my 60 steering box to be ported too

I though Dusty was going to do yours?

 

[ToyotaDon]

Steering box made it.

Thanks Again!

What's up with that Pitman Arm? Do you have some new kind of reverse steering system up your sleeve?

 

[D'Animal]

Good Eye


I'm working with Mace and 4x4 labs on a top secret setup that uses an Heim joint on the rear of the steering arm. It will eliminate the Drag link.

Yeah, that Mace guy is always so innovative.

It packaged easier that way (big F'n box tho) and the nut was only finger tight

I need one of does. What size ram is that?

 

[freds40]

What size bore, 1.75?

 

[D'Animal]

The ram I need for this rig is 7 1/8" stroke. PSC installed the 7/8" spacer block in an 8" ram ram. No Charge.

Yep, 1.75"

 

[freds40]

What pump are you going to run with it?

 

[D'Animal]

I ran into electrical problems last night. Since I was tired I decided to call it a night.

This morning I am seeing things a little more clearly and I found a few problems.

First Problem Solved
When you install a new fuse block. Don't forget to install the fuses! LOL!

 

[D'Animal]

Second Problem Found


Brand New Optima Yellow Top putting out 6.6 volts. Connect the Pulse Charger and found the battery is bad.

 

[D'Animal]

Fluids filled and camera ready for the start up.



I also have a fire extinguisher and a big pair of cable cutters ready.

Today's the day?
