After the holiday, try the number i provided, worth a shot...
Would it be possible to install an air ride seat or something along those lines that would be much easier to do?

It will take shock load off turning joint, loader arms and axle trunion.I dont think ride control will reduce loader wear ,more the opposite as it will rattle less but move almost constantly but will make a big difference to comfort . If it is just for transport and an empty bucket ,then a pair of lever taps if you want to turn it off or raise the machine with the bucket or dig hard into the ground paired with some accumulators can only improve things . Check cylinder pressure with an empty bucket and have at least 1 accumulator at 50 to 75 % of that pressure at a very rough uneducated guess or better still get the pressure and capacity spec for a newer cat of similar size if the the loader frame and geometry are still similar .
So...am i understanding that in my current situation(I believe my spool does have float), when the control is in the center position, the negative side is open to the tank and it would pull-push oil from the tank as needed when the boom moves in response to rough terrain? If that is the case...I wouldn't need the second accumulator and it really would be a quite simple installation with just a "T", electric valve, accumulator and switch.Yes, you would have 2 logic valves, one for positive one for negative. The spool in the control valve would be centered . So the plus side is open to the accumulators and the negative side is open to tank . You wouldn't have any "dig" with this option enabled since your down force would just be a loop to tank. I hope this clears things up a bit.
If you already have boom float, you may have the negative valve or an acceptable substitute in place already.
