I believe you got it right except for one thing, if your loader is simmilar to our MF. After lifting the lever, you have to back the tractor up and let the loader slide ahead. There are wedge blocks in the bottom frame that holdes the loader down. If it doesn't slide ahead, just take a prybar and pry it ahead, it should move easily, it helps when the tractor can roll back too (out of gear and brake off--assuming you are on level ground) Once out just raise the bucket which will spin the frame around and it will support the bucket. You don't need to drop the loader where you something to push against like they say in the book. It will come off easily. The only trick is that when you put it back on it may not slide in far enough to let the catches on the lever trip. This isn't a problem, just lift up the loader (the wedge blocks will catch) and move it to somewhere where you don't mind tearing up the grass or lane and let the loader down and pop the clutch a few times and the latches will catch. The MF's have a good loader that is very tough and is easy to remove. If you do a lot of heavy lifting, here is a suggestion. Weld a piece of channel iron over the hyd. lines on the cross piece at the front of the loader. This way you can wrap a chain around the frame and then over the bucket for lifting heavy objects. Another suggestion is to loosly bolt a chain hook to one side of the loader(ours had a small hole in the upper corner of the side) this makes it handy to hook chains to move round bales or other things that need to be chained to stay.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
