Mounting Loader
Mounting is basically reverse of dismounting.
To avoid injury during installation of the loader attachment, do not allow bystanders within 10
feet of loader or attachment.
1. Slowly drive tractor into loader approximately 6” from loader mounts. Shut off tractor engine and set
parking brake.
2. Connect hydraulic hoses. Make sure couplers are clean before connecting together.
3. Start engine and release parking brake. Make sure lift cylinders are extended 6” to 8”. Stroke bucket
cylinders to raise or lower upright pin to clear each front mount pin saddle by approximately 1” (See Figure
Asm-L-0003).
4. Drive tractor forward until loader upright pins contact mount vertical stop surfaces just above the mount pin
saddles (See Figure Asm-L-0003). Extend bucket cylinders to FULLY seat both loader upright pins into
mount pin saddles and raise parking stands off ground. Retract lift cylinders, allowing tractor to move
forward. Continue until loader uprights have fully seated into back of mount tube saddles by retracting lift
cylinders to raise tractor front end (tires can be off ground).
5. Stop engine. Allow tractor front end to lower by relaxing ONLY lift cylinders with control lever.
6. Set parking brake. Insert two 1” hitch pins and lynch pins.
7. Remove lynch pins and clevis pins from parking stands, rotate stands into storage position and secure with
clevis pins and lynch pins (See Figure Asm-L-0001).
NOTE: If front wheel spacings were changed while loader was off tractor, tire clearances must be checked and
possibly adjusted to insure proper clearances.
Always use a drift and hammer made of non-sparking material (a shot-filled mallet is
recommended) to install or remove pins. A steel hammer or drift could generate flying metal
fragments and result in injury. Always wear safety glasses when using a hammer to remove
or install pins.
