Have a mhf 202 it has a Davis bucket loader on it I have to remove it to rebuild engine ,what is the easiest way to get this off

In pieces. If you got an old swing set, or strong tree branch, suspend the arms from that. Then take off both sides of the frame and the front pieces, might as well clean and paint it all while it's off too.

So disassemble in peices I have nothing to hoist it
to should I drain all fluid ,is it five gallons of fluid just
want to be ready when it blasts out

if all the pistons are at rest.. ooze and dribbles, but not like a firehose unless there is still pressure somewhere. Drain at the pump first. I bet it comes out like a chocolate milkshake, if so, don't save it and pour it back.... it will be a big mess no mater how ya do it. Good luck

Just curious. How do you plan on doing this without a hoist? I just installed this loader on my 135 and the hoist and chain fall were the ticket. Could maneuver the loader easily. I put two straps to the chain fall, took them down the outside of the loader arms and around the frame right where it angled down to front support/bumper. It hung Completely level. It didn't have the bucket attached.

I would leave the oil in if you can and it doesn't need changed.

If your loader frame is tight on the hood like mine I would remove the hood for good clearance. If the front mounts to the axle support, leave the loader mount attached to support and loosen the frame from the mount. This will give you clearance on the front end.

Yes that is what I used.

If yours is like mine, the loader frame should come down and bolt to a mount that then bolts underneath your axle. Unbolt from the loader mount rather than underneath the axle, meaning the mount will stay on the tractor. Reason I say that is I learned the hard way. My situation was a bit more complicated because I was putting it on a tractor that was not completely set up for it, but, when lowering the loader into position things were very tight and I put that loader mount into my radiator, which then needed to go to the radiator shop. If you do what I say you will gain probably 8" of clearance on the front end.
