I have an M670 I bought used. It has an Inland loader that was obviously not made for it. Brackets have been fabricated, and then WELDED to the side rails. I would like to replace the loader. How much cutting with a torch do I dare, before I take the temper out of the rails? Thanks!

The side rails are a hot rolled channel they should be pretty mild steel,(A36 or something similar). If you are good with a torch and can make the cut reasonably fast with out heating the base a whole lot it sould be no problem to use a torch,(be careful of grease and fuel!)

How heavy of metal is it? Can you use a Sawzall? They have metal cutting blades, may need a pack of them, they go quick on heavy metal! Then you could grind off the left-over metal at cut, if you can get it close enough. I wouldn't be afraid of taking temper out with torch really, just use smaller cut tips and move fairly quickly. Most of loaders for MM's mount on the 4-bolt pad on side of gear/clutch case and a small connection on either the front rail bolts in front or hangs linkage down below the engine to hang unit from. Then also long legs to back axle pads, either under or on front of axle. I have a book on one offered loader, may have pix of diff mounts too, not sure, if you want a scan of it?

G.L., The loader is attached with square tubing spacers, about 1/4" thick metal. There are 2 spacers on each side, welded to the loader, the side rail, and each other. The weldments are midway on each side rail. The loader framework under the rear axle is bolted on in a normal fashion. The loader isn't bad, but it looks like it was made for a small utility tractor.

Take you a small grinder and gouge out the welds. Would take some time and would get hot too. I would not be afraid of cutting with the torch either.I would get her hot and cut it fast. If they are welded on, and there is a temper concern, it left when he welded it.
