560 Diesel - Farmhand 11 Loader

My dad bought this 560 tractor and the T/A - clutch need to be replaced. We are going to have to take the loader off to get them replaced.

We did have a 400 with a Koyker loader on it and all you had to do with it was put a couple boards on the sides and then take the cyliner pins out of the arms and the big stationary pivot pins out at the top of the loader arms and that was it. The loader would just sit on the support boards.

I dont see any such holes in the frame or any brackets on this F11 to add supports for the loader to sit on.

Thanks,

I grab that cross-over "bow" with a chain hoist or another loader. PTO pump off, axle clamps and the front struts gotta come off too, of course.

We used to do that too don and doff the F-10s. Fact is, the fist time I ever drove a tractor at the ripe old age of 5, it was tied up to one of those oversized hitchin' posts. :>)

Anyway, one day we happened to notice the dealers never had any posts up.

Finally dawned on us, to take the silly head off, block the rear end up and drive right out and over the front of 'er. :>)

I was hoping I could leave the upright standards on the axles like the koyker and just pull the top pins but doesnt look like it.

The only pain to 'em is if you have a wide front, then it's a real stinker because you have to clear those front axles coming out. That's the reason a guy has to grab that bow.

On the other hand, if you have a trike, it's a piece of cake; just block up the two uprights, loosen the two axle mounts (they are built on a hook affair), take off the two strut bolts and back out of her.

UGH.....

Much to be said for Quick Attach Loaders

Except this F-11 will lift twice the weight twice as high. :>)
