220 FWA

Never seen that kind of cab modification before. Or, a loader on a Two-Twenty FWA.

That is a good looking tractor even with cab and loader. Any idea where up in Canada?

trying to get more pictures of it

Is there more fwa out there then recorded. Seems like Iv seen posts on how rare they are but seems like a lot randomly show up on forum.

Absolutely Mike. Way to many show up. There are several you know have been scrapped, several you will never know about. And they say there were only 100 made. I don't believe it. I have seen more 220 fwa then 4w220s. And there were only 175 of those made, 20 years later.

Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated.

My guess is because it has hard lines on the inside of the right side arm that run to the front, short hose from there to the cylinders.

It makes for a cleaner installation was my point, but your point is received and valid. I should have taken more time to explain my perspective.

Hard lines are easier to make a clean installation than rubber hoses, so they ran hard lines to the front of the right arm, and short hoses to connect to the cylinder, then crossed over to the left side and did the same thing there. Probably also cheaper to run hard lines than rubber hoses, not positive on that though. The alternative (flipping the cylinders) I believe would lead to additional materials (steel or rubber lines) being needed to get down to the connection at the bottom of the loader frame.

I don't believe there is any performance gain or loss by doing it that way, maybe a slight bit because of the extra weight of the cylinder on that end rather than just the rod.

And you put the meat in the middle of your sandwich?!?! Smile

Well, except for that KFC chicken breast health food thing once in a while!

It's all good. I understand what you mean.

To the guy who asked the question, it wouldn't reduce the lift force, as extending the cylinders still lifts the loader, it's just a question of which part of the cylinder moves. I've seen both directions.

also when it rains instead of having water pool up on top of the seal on the cylinder it will run off.

I like the 7220 FWA, but now I want to see a 8220 FWA.

2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C

Oughtred's has headlights on the side of the grill right?

Most loaders have the cylinders that way for removal. That way the cylinders stay with the loader. All the plumbing is on the boom and connects in one location typically on the right hand side. The performance would only differ in the weight of the rod vs the Barrell as stated above.

Charlie 175 if you could get the serial number for this tractor i would appreciate it. Thanks

Some of the front wheel assists could be after market, such as Mudhogg possibly?

Dpower an Calvin am I understanding it right. Your keeping track or recording SR nu of fwa 220. That's cool. Did you get get those that popped up over on classifieds
