I have a loader on my M - not sure of the make but it very closely matches a Horn-draulic loader. I have used it for years but just saw a pic on the web that makes me think I have it mounted wrong. It works fine but maybe I am missing something.
The single acting lift cylinders are plumbed together and bolt to the tractor frame with two rectangular plates. These plates are joined by a piece of pipe that the plates and cylinders pivot on.
