My 232 Loader is also "slow" by todays "Kubota HST" type larger pump standards, but is it ever strong! The hydraulic pressure reading was 2050psi on the return side. Most people comment what a large loader it is for the size of tractor it is on. The 1045 is one of the smallest tractors that the 232 fits.
I just had a new clutch, injector tip, and 2 loader rams rebuilt at the local Massey dealer, after 2025 hrs, and the bill was over $2400. The shop foreman was amazed at the prices he had to charge for parts, and practically apologized for having to charge so much! One of the two clutch discs I had to replace was $412, the other was $379, and the pressure plate was $590. Be careful with that clutch! Keep it properly adjusted, and drop that engine oil and filter every 50 hrs of run time, run 15-40w in it all the time. A new engine head casting is $2000, a new rebuilt engine is $7200. Your tractor sounds sweet, with only 1100 hrs on it. I wouldn't run a blade on the front either, or you may risk tweaking the loader arms. Keep the sunlight off the tires, and that will slow the rot in the sidewalls. If you really insist on reducing the cycle time on the loader lift and dump function, you may consider a 3pt. "pto" auxillary pump to increase volume, though you may not necessarily increase pressure. I'm looking at new rear tires now, and mine are "juiced" for loader work. It's always something! Lots of luck with your "new" 1045, it's a lot of tractor, and so heavily built, the Massey shop foreman said he was surprised it wasn't painted yellow!

Does anyone know of a website, or other source of plans for a "Build it Yourself" bucket, for a compact tractor front loader. They must be out there! I need 60" width. Thank you
