Cool, wish I had that set up.

[muz123 1,191]

Nice setup! Looks great! 

[Adams94 1,068]

Thanks!  I just changed the pump mounting so it's moved forward some and the belt now works! Now just need braces, although looks like the fitting on the top of the pump will be in the way for that brace more configurations needed

Very nice and the ever elusive 520-8 too. 

Great.

Dang it, I was supposed to get you pictures and dementions of the braces. I will get them tomorrow.

@Adams94  braces on mine (same loader) are 36"OA and 34.5" hole to hole. My right brace goes under the pump. It's close but clears by about 1/8"

Clean set up. Your ready now.

Exactly what I was thinking!

I may have a tiny bit of loader-envy.....

Thanks! Is it the same size steel as the cross tube at the top,  could you take a picture of your pump and how the brace goes through there?

Loosen those fittings and adjust them so they're closer to the tractor and re-tighten. Kind of like the bottom one is.

If necessary the brace can be spaced out a little where it bolts onto the front brace bracket with washers but it should fit past the pump.

I’m going to play with it a little today. Thanks!

I think the tube is the same. Sorry, too dumb to do pictures...

Tubing on my D200 is 1-1/16" OD  (Same a cross bar) Note on one side someone welded on reinforcing plates...Probably a good idea

Thank you sir!

I have never noticed on the Onan that there was auxiliary mounting holes for the pump bracket. Is that what is mounted to?

There's is one unused threaded hole above the frame and jus tin front of the pto and the other goes into the front bolt of the upper pto arm mount
