Here are a few questions before I go back to look at it again: Will the loader be slow using tractor hydraulics? Will the cab be noisy? Worse than open station? How much gasoline will it use? Is this a hydraulic TA, and does it freewheel in low? What is the lifting capacity of the fast hitch, and does it have down pressure? Are these tires big enough, or should they be replaced with 16.9x38 or even bigger. How good are the brakes on this model?

Loader should be fine. I'd say the bucket is plenty big for dirt. I run a 5 ft bucket on my Hydro 86 and wouldn't want more. I don't think cab nois will bother for loader work but if you run it all day in the field you will want ear plugs. The sound echoing off the glass will fry your brain. Gas is fine for ocasional use on a loader. If you want it for more use you want a diesel, (ask Allan) Yeah, the TA free-wheels in low. Not a problem once you're used to it. No, it don't have down pressure. I'd say the tires are big enough. The brakes should be fine if they have been maintained.

Oh, if you want to keep the cab, I'll buy the fenders. It would look greedy on your part to keep both.
