I paid $150 for one about 8 years ago. The cylinders were fine then and still are. It doesn"t wobble. The only thing is that I have to oil the trip now and then; no big deal. The trip link had been welded on. It has a long rod that runs all of the way from the trip handle down to the bucket link. It was on an H when I found it, but I have it on an M. I use the bucket a lot. Have pulled engines with it and many other things.

I paid $350 for a F-11 with 2 spool valve that I probably should have walked away from, but in Tx cheap loaders are very hard to find. Big cylinders are good, missing one bucket cylinder. All the pins are cobbled to an embarrassment and I will have to do some reconstructive fabrication and it will allways be a patched up loader, not a clean one. If those big cylinders have bad pits & rust on the shafts its not worth much as they will tear up new seals and are expensive to replace. If the bucket is no good the F-11 has wider pins than most so finding a cheap one will probably take adding brackets. Look at the pins for patches and wear and decide if Its useable or just cheap yard art.

Arod,

Make sure it hasn't been "sprung" and that it hasn't been welded on. Also, make sure all the pivot pins and bucket pins are not wobbled out.

I had to give $1500 for mine with 2 heads. This was thru a dealer, tho.

Just paid 120 dollars for a F19-A (thought it was a super deal) but cylinders were leaking some. Naturally, new parts changed so had to invest in new pistons as well as new seals. Now have more than your 250 dollars invested. Like the loader though. If bucket is rusted away, you probably want to walk away. Make sure it's all there. If you want to see a picture, send me an E-mail
