Dad bought a Stan-Hoist loader to put on the M in about 1960. Put M&W live hyd. on it shortly after. The live hyd and extra weight and power of an M was NOT kind to the loader.
I assume you have the 42 inch manure bucket, not the 80 inch wide snow bucket. The loader frame does flex a lot with the wide bucket. But I would look over your loader closely for cracks since it's flexing with the narrow bucket and when empty.
Look around the bucket latch on the pipe right behind the bucket, top & bottom each side of the latch and also on the outer ends around where the gussets get welded on. Also look at the top pipes on the lift arms, both sides, on the tops right ahead of the plates the lift cylinders pin into. Also check the tops of the mounting brackets where the loader pivots, those "U" shaped brackets can crack as well as the welds holding them to the pipe mounting frame.
Make sure all the mounting bolts are tight, and that you have the short braces that go from the mounting frames to the clutch housing.
Dad did a BUNCH of bracing to his loader, and weld repairing. The list of things to inspect is where he patched his loader in the order of how many patches were made. In the case of the front pipe by the bucket latch, THREE patches on top of each other.
The loader may be old and patched, but a couple years ago I lifted a 1500# slab of concrete with it.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
