X2 on the picture of the whole loader, it would be helpful.
REPLY: Ask and ye shall receive
If it came off an M, then you shouldn't have to drill holes or cut anything. Those holes have to line up somewhere.
REPLY: Thats what I thought, so I guess it did not come off a M or previous owner M modified cause the front brackets match nothing in the front....unfortunately
Many loaders on tractors of that era bolt to the frame rails near the front bolster, or to the front bolster itself, and clamp on to the rear axle housings.
REPLY: That is the approach I am measuring to
If you can "mock up" the loader where it will be on the tractor by laying the side frames near where they clamp to the axle, you will be able to determine where that front bracket attaches.[/quote]
REPLY: We are on frequency! Cant really mock up yet but I sure can measure close. Plan was to fine tune the brackets and pull the M under the loader, check fit up, adjust, then paint loader.
Don't laugh too hard, I got this for scrap money and was told it came off a M. Hate to call someone a L;;;, but if all M frames the same it sure is not a plug and play for me.
Total distance between where the loader will fit to the rear axle and the front brackets is just about 192" (see pic). In order to make it fit without shortening the loader I need to install the front brackets forward of the bolster a few inches
Hopefully the attach pic explains. I can modify the front bracket as annotated. Wouldn't you know after I verified the location for the front bracket, the 1/4" vertical bar in the bracket was right in line with the bolster taped holes. Also, you can see the bracket holes are on an angle and the bolster holes are plumb perpendicular with the world. So, more doubt about coming off an M.
My own fault, being semi retired I often tackle "bargains" that turn out allot of work. As I see it I either modify the brackets or shorten the loader a couple of inches. I am leaning on fab/modify front brackets cause if I shorten the loader I still have to modify the front brackets or build new ones so they line up with the frame bolt holes. The rear axle brackets will need some fine tuning but no big deal. The front loader width coincides with the M and the rear axle loader bracket width is ok with some bracket adjustments to fit.
Sorry folks, but I would like to know what kind of loader it is.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning Up Your Tractor: Cooling and Fuel Systems, Hoses and Belts - by Curtis Von Fange. Our tractor is coming right along. The old oil and filter has been taken to the recycler and the air filter replacement has breathed new life into our motor. Let's take a closer look, now, at the cooling system since it has to work so hard in the summer heat. Cooling systems can be real cantankerous in their old age. Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
