This is long and all I can tell ya, is how I used to do it. Also, it is a heck of a lot easier than it sounds after you have a "parking stand" in place.
Take the header off by removing the two cables and the two lower pivot pins.
Wherever you want to permantely park this thing, set two TALL posts in the ground spaced just to the outside of the lift cylinders (probaly about 10 feet apart).
Across the top of these posts attach a 12" plank with either large bolts or 12 penny spikes, two in each post. Again, about 10 feet off the ground. A huge "TT" if you can picture it.
Now, your ready to take the loader off the tractor. :>)
Drive up to this "TT" and set the front of the loader up on the 12" plank. Wrap a couple of short pieces of chain around the plank and the front of the loader to hold it in place.
1. Remove the two angle braces at each frame rail and move them over to the side, trying them out of the way.
2. Remove the PTO drive coupler at the loader pump.
3. Remove the nuts of the two bolts attaching the loader to the loader mount under the rear of the main loader frame.
4. Jack up the rear of the loader on each side enough to let you take out those bolts and block the rear of the loader up on each rear corner.
The loader is now sitting on the two stacks of blocks at the rear and the front is sitting on, and chained to, the top of that plank.
5. Drive the tractor out the front between the two posts and then take off the loader mount assembly from the tractor by removing the two bolts at the side and the two axle clamps. (this is the hardest part because that old sow is heavy!) :>)
OR, YA CAN BRING IT OVER HERE AND I'LL TAKE THAT LOADER OFF FOR YA. (Brings back memories of my youth) :>)
Can't remember what they called that old loader, but it was the precursor to the F-10. Made in the late '40s.
You ought to talk to Nebraska Cowman. Betcha he might like to take that old loader to his display at Red Power Roundup.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
