I have a 1957 Ford model 850 (800 Series) tractor. It has a Model 19-97 / 703 Series Heavy Duty Front End Loader on it. It was my Dad’s tractor (he has passed away) and my step mother wants it off her property. The tractor has been sitting for about 4 years and currently the engine will not start and needs to be dismantled (very low compression; stuck valves & rings). I need to load the tractor onto a trailer so I can haul it to my home, but it can not be moved as the loader and bucket are in the down position. I am trying to find out what the best way is to raise the loader arms and bucket so I can pull the tractor onto a trailer. Any thought or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks Ray

I have hooked the loader hoses to another hydraulic pressure source,like a snow plow or another tractor to get things raised. Or like i think old said, pull all the spark plugs then hold the hydraulic lever back while cranking the engine.

I did soak the value guides and rings and got the engine loose, but bent a few push rods in the process. I have replaced those, but the engine compression is very low 50 to 65 pounds per cylinder. I am going to try the 12 volt battery with starter as it sounds the simplest. If that fails I’ll still need a little more help because of my lack of knowledge of the hydraulic system. I can place a jack or 2 under the bucket or use an engine hoist above the bucket to try and raise it. My concern is the hydraulics will still prevent it from moving. Do I just need to pull back on the control levers once upward pressure is applied to the bucket and arms to allow the flow of hydraulic fluid in to the lift cylinders? I thought about disconnecting the hydraulic lines to the cylinders and jacking it up before, but my concern was opening the hydraulic system to air.
Introducing air into the system was also a reason for not trying to add an alternative hydraulic source. Thanks, Ray

Theres a number of way to do that and one of them may work for you. I would start off by putting tranny fluid in the cylinders which may help the engine so you could get it running. And or you could pull all the plugs out and set a 12 volt battery in it and spin the engine over and you maybe able to raise the loader doing that. BTDT before also. Or you maybe able to use a com-a-long on the laoder main frame and loader arms to lift it up some. Or you maybe able to jack the loader up some and then use a chain to tie it up and off the ground. I have done all of those at one point in time just depands on the loader and how its set up
