I put a Freeman on an Oliver 550, and it was not difficult. It mounts only on the front center (below the grill), and under the rear axles. Does your Ford have a flat area under the grill with threaded holes? That's what you'll need, and its only a matter of drilling new holes in the mounting plate of the loader to match up to your holes. Rear mount is simply bolting the rear of the loader rails under the rear axle with U-bolts. Most difficult part of mounting mine was that the loader was too short for the tractor (I wonder what it had been mounted on, as I didn't know anything was shorter than an Oliver 550)- I had to get plates made to lengthen the loader at the front. Measure the distance from the front mounting surface on your Ford to the rear axle, and compare with the length of the loader, to see if you've got enought length. Mine uses a front pump with shaft to the front engine pulley- I know the older Fords were the same, don't know about yours. A front pump is much more satisfactory than using tractor hydraulics.
