Ford 971 with model 711 loader

steak · Apr 21, 2017

Hey folks .
I have a Ford model 971 with a model 711 one-arm loader . both are in decent condition.
Do you know what the original paint color for the loader was ?
I am also in need of the bottom rear mounting plate and an original jack stand for this loader.
I have a model 722 manual if anybody needs one.
Thanks.

It would have been orange red, same as the tractor.

I would paint same color as tractor. Since they were sold as an
option it could have been bought new or years later or used. Is
short box or long box? Hydraulic bucket or trip? Are you talking
about the bracket that goes from under the loader frame to the
under the trans bracket?

The bucket has been modified long ago but I'm guessing it's a short box .
Trip bucket ,
Yes sir , the bracket that goes under the transmission . At present , is just a piece of flat stock
Thank you.

Short or long box has nothing to do with the bucket. It's the box where the trans hip bracket connects too. Top of box from frame to hip bracket about 3 1/2" short
box box. 5 1/2" long box.
The bracket that is under the trans can be made from a short piece of flat steel also the bracket from the trans bracket to the frame can also be made of flat
stock. These are the easiest brackets to fab up. When I go out I'll get some photos for you.

I will check to be sure but think it's the long box .
Thank you for your help and guidance.
I do appreciate it. Jason

Hey Kirk
Thank you for posting the pics . I can easily fabricate the bottom strap and should have an adequate bushing . I like that set up compared to just a bolt or pin
I appreciate your time and help .
