I found this link to a video of a different loader, which looks similar to mine. My tractor has two support tubes stored in the same location as the video, and the main pins attaching the loader is similar. From the video, I'm wondering if the tractors has to be running in order to remove the loader. If so, that is a problem, since the tractor won't crank with the bad starter.

The loader is normally locked to the frame with a removable pin, and is supported by a larger main support pin. I installed the support legs as shown. Next step would be to cut a 2x4 and maybe a 2x6 to support the 2x4 on the ground. The 2x4 would be slightly longer than the distance shown. I would wedge the 2x4 between the loader as shown to support the loader, and then remove the pin. Then I would use a sledge to slide the bottom of the 2x4 until it supports the loader enough to clear the main support pin. Then I would tow the tractor backwards enough to clear the main support pin. Once that is done, then the support legs should support the loader, and I could remove the 2x4 and pull the tractor backwards away from the loader. Then I would loosen the frame of the loader enough to give clearance to get to the starter bolts. Does that sound like a plan? One possible problem is that the small bucket that is attached may not be heavy enough to hold the front of the loader down. Guess I will deal with that when the time comes. :)   [Reply]  [No Email]

Pretty simple really.   [Reply]  [No Email]
