This is just an account of my day today. I know there is other good info regarding putting new cables on a F10 farnhand loader. I bought 60' of 3/8" cable and four clamps. When you hook the cable to the end of the cylinder that tips the scoop make sure to make dry runs with both ends of cable to each side of the bucket to make sure they'll reach. I left the bucket on and put a barrel under the lip and lowered the loader so the bucket was all the way back. Then I made sure that the bucket cylinder was in the position as if it had the bucket pulled all the way back.
Once the cable was hooked to the end of the cylinder I put the cylinder back in, hooked the cables to the bucket and tested her out. I had to take up some slack on each side at the bucket and it was good to go.
I was all worried about how the cable ran thru the pulleys but I took a picture of the two pulleys on the upper left side(on most F10's) and it was easy. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks to Allan(Ne) for his 2005 or 2006 post regarding cables.
