i need to know where to begin. i was givin a ford 800 tractor with loader. when i picked it up the tractor did not run {tuneup} and the front end loader was off the tractor sitting in the yard. the home owner was selling his house, and wanted this thing gone. a friend of mine knew that i had been looking for a tractor and worked this tractor into his tree removal bid. when i went to get the tractor the home owner and tree removal company where in a big fight over a tore up lawn and dispute over the tree. {told everybody to clean up and leave}so i just went right to loading the tractor. i tryed to speak with the home owner, but he just told me to load the tractor and get of his property. so i did, and got the hek outa there before the deal changed{free tractor i didnt complain}. well i have no idea why the loader was off, and i have no hardware to remount the loader to tractor and bucket to loader. all the hydro hoses are bad and the bucket has some holes, but the tractor is decent and runs like a top. how do i find the make and model of this loader? i can not find name or numbers anywhere. i would like to find a owners manual. and do you"all think this is going to cost alot of money to get this loader remounted back on the tractor??as always i dont have alot of money so i may consider to sell the front end loader. anybody whats this loader might be worth. thanks...perry in michigan...
P.S the tractor and loader where painted all blue. whats the origanal color on the ford 800?????

lucky you! most loaders mount to the top of the rear axel under the fenders in the front ther is an adapter bracket atached to the front axel suport may be hiden by the grill the pump mount is op there also thepump drive is on the front of the crank shaft pully this will help you get started to understand the mounting.

Plant two cedar posts in the ground with another, thick one well secured across the top. Use a come-along winch to raise the arms of the loader up into position beneath the horizontal post. Chain them there. Spend several hours wiggling the tractor and the loader arms around in relation to each other until you get the pins in. Be sure to keep a redundant chain around the rig so that it doesn't get away and crush you. Keep assembling. Expect an occasional bath of hydraulic fluid. Hope everything works.

The trouble with hydraulics is that you can't tell if there is any pressure or not.

When I got my dad's loader onto his old Ferguson TEA20 I discovered why it had been removed. The hydraulic pump didn't work well enough to drive it.

Moving a tractor around when it has a loader half-assembled on it is a low-quality experience, best avoided. After I lifted the bucket with a hydraulic jack I held it in place with a 38" piece of hardwood wedged between the bucket and the front bumper. This made for a white-knuckled drive two miles to the mechanic's shop.

My friend gave up on the Fergie and installed the loader, with three new cylinders, on my MF35. Excellent installation, but expensive.
