Good idea Noel, but this tube has a zerk on the other side, from factory. How to make the rod not turn, maybe a bead of weld. If the rod doesn't turn then the only parts that move against each other are the arms of the loader around the rod, where the zerk is.

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
Make up or find something like this to clamp to the rod inside the tower so that it is up against the tower and keeps the rod from turning .

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
That's the idea Dave, thanks! As I don't want to drill the rod and weaken it. I'll come up with a thingamagig like that.
Yes @JSinMO , it does feel like a little milestone here. Like you say, any step forward is progress.
Last night I was able to further the project somewhat. New 1" hose from the tank to the pump, and 3/4" in and out of the cooler.
Strap of eva foam under the tank. All hydraulics cleaned and connected again. Mock up pins for the bucket cylinder (this need more work). New oil in the engine and in the hydraulic tank.
Still missing: all electrical, battery holder, pins and bushings for the various loader joints, exhaust pipe for the engine, fix up bucket, gas tank and fenders mounting...
But to turn it on all I need is the electrical in place, so I can chase hydro leaks and see if this engine state, good or bust.

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
Thanks guys! @JSinMO , I wish I was that fast, but no. For some reason the electrical is going quite slow. I'm making fresh wires and connectors all around. The freezing temps aren't helping either, the wires are stiff, fingers are numb lol. On the plus side, it's not windy. had to quit though earlier tonight, I got too cold.

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
Nice looking job there Eugen. But I don’t know how you work out in the cold. Jumpins I couldn’t do that.
