pretty cool!

when I first looked at it I thought it had a manual tilt link.  I said that's when men had testosterone.I see it is just a release.

sweet old project!

This one needs some work but is a great candidate for a complete resto. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out...:popcorn:

So you you still run implements in the center along with this loader?

 

Such as a belly blade or cultivator?

 

I see why you said an HY-3 wouldnt fit now due to the loader attaching to the axle. Unfortunate!

Your years of persistence have paid off.          That will be a sweet looking addition to any herd, looking forward to watching the build thread. The "Trip Dump" on the FEL bucket will take some getting accustom to, had one years ago on a farm tractor and conditions had to be just right to get it to release.

There is also supposed to be a weight box on the back.  Have one located and waiting to see if it will be for sale.  If not then the gentleman did say he will get me all the needed measurements to get one built.

Probably going to leave tractor if it looks good.  Loader on the other hand is wrong color.  That really stinks

Well it made it in the garage finally after thawing out. Next challenge is getting it to run and loader working.  Drained all fluid from transmission so will flush it this evening.  Bought new coil, spark plug, condenser, and points.

Spent 6 hours on the tractor today.  New coil, condenser, spark plug, points, and spark plug wire. Then put a good working carburetor on since the one on it was rusted shut.  Took fuel pump off and had to clean it out.  That was the worse part.  Put new fuel line on.  Put the battery in and BAM...it is ALIVE.  Next hurdle is getting the loader to operate.  Fluid is being pumped to valve but still not working.  Will need to flush it and try again.

Yes.  I plan to keep everything together.  I am wanting to paint loader to correct color which is white.  However I like the original patina on the tractor and don't want to paint it.  We'll see how it goes
