I have a 45W John Deere loader on a 520 John Deere and would like to convert the trip to a hydraulic trip bucket. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.
 
I have done a few and the engineering of them is not easy so as to have them dump as the y need to but it can be done just takes having the right hyd cylinders and the know how to fab up what is needed to do so
 
You can access the parts catalog for that loader online from Deere. They have the hydraulic bucket parts shown.
 

The photo below will give an idea of where JD engineers mounted the bucket cylinders.

You need to draw out the geometry of the bucket, from digging position to dumping. Pick a point on the loader arms where you might attach a cyl....also on the bucket.
tip the bucket to the dumping point, and measure the distance. That gives you an idea how long a cyl you need. When I reversed my AC WD, I think I needed a 22 inch cyl to convert the Paulson trip bucket to a hyd. Only way to use a standard 8 inch stroke cyl is to have a mtg system that needs so much leverage that you won"t get much breakout power.
 
some years back I converted my #35 loader from trip bucket to hydraulic. Went what looked like the easy way the first time with one cylinder. After tearing out part of the cross frame I looked up JD parts and owner manual to see how they did it. That has worked out well. If you can find one around to measure that is better.
 
I have what you need, here near Bellefontaine Ohio. Both 45 and 45W with JD hydraulic conversions on them. I will sell you the parts or complete. send me a PM for more info. Richard
 

Here is the link to see how Deere did it.
