Anyone ID this FEL? Runs off the 3 pt by the looks. (pics)

I don't think I've ever seen one like it.
I assume the lever to the right of the steering wheel is
the trip lever for the bucket, but not sure on that either.
Nice way to mount the lights though.

That's a Ferguson LU0-20 loader. I used one of those loaders to load and haul hundreds, and hundreds of loads of manure with a 2-n with dual rear wheels and a companion Ferguson spreader It was the neatest arrangement you could ever ask for. I literally could haul manure all day and never leave the tractor seat. Under the hydraulic lever was a drop valve that would activate the cylinders to raise the loader half way and once they were closed the 3 point lifted the fork the rest of the way. To lower the cylinders you pushed the lever all the way down and opened a valve that returned the oil through the test port. No, you didn't chain the lift arms. On the back where this pictured tractor has a drawbar, was a yoke with a hook that with the 3 point lowered you backed the hook under an eye on the spreader hitch. You raised the 3 point and off you went. The spreader had a single lever that was easily reached from the tractor seat. We used that drop valve to operate other cylinders such as a semi-mounted IH cutter bar mower. I still have that valve on the same tractor as well as a spare valve in case I have another tractor dropped in my lap some day. Yes it would work on an 8-n and early Ferguson tractors. I could put the loader on or off in 10 minutes or less.
 

Is it just the angle of the picture or is that bucket really like six feet in front of the grill?
 
I see this tractor has a Sherman over drive. Most of the time I would load in overdrive so I didn't have to race the engine to get good hydraulic speed.
 
I seen the shifter but how can to tell it's a step up and not a step down since both the handles are the same.

step up and step down are different handles.

step up is a round rod with ball handle. step down and combo are the dogleg style.

I just made this mistake a few weeks ago. I confused the step down with the creeper, the 8 or 9 to 1 extreme step down.

step up and step down use the same handles. (rod with ball)

combo and creeper use the same handles. (dog leg style)

though as rare as the step down is, I think its why most people assume when they see that handle its a step up
 
well, ya, that is correct. the step down are practically unobtainable. most people just see the creeper when it's listed as a step down.

yup I wonder what the ratio of step ups to down in. prolly 95 outta 100 are step ups
 
Yup, would be neat to find old documents at really detailed how many of what were made, especially the 00/01 series.
 
In my area over the years I've found about 8 out of 10 were step ups (with the lever) Now the cable sherman maybe
one out of 20 were step downs. (only a guess) Although I have a cable style on the bench now you don't run across
them that often.
