FORD 5200 ROW CROP LOADER

FORDY5200 · Sep 29, 2021

I have a 1968 Ford 5200 (5000 row crop) that I have a Westendorf WL-21 loader I am going to put on it. The problem is that the mounting brackets are for a general purpose 5000. I can make all the brackets work except for the ones that bolt on to the front sides of the tractor. Does anyone have advice or a picture of their brackets? New brackets from Westendorf are $1,500, so I do not want to cut up the general purpose brackets.

People are adapting utility loaders to row crops all the time. I don't understand not wanting to cut the front adapter. Are you planning to get another utility 5000 that you may want to put it on?

I've got the same tractor and loader. Thought the brackets were interchangeable? You just won't be able to lower the arms much
below level (but the bucket can still turn down if you need to dig).

I can get you better pictures if needed.

I just thought some time down the road I might sell the loader, and there are a lot of gen purpose 5000 around...]

Could you get a picture of the front mount? Yours does not seem to have the brackets that bolt to the "frame" just above your front wheel. Thanks

I can get better pics if needed. These are factory brackets for 5000 all the way up through 7710 or something to that effect.

Thanks for the pictures. That helps alot. I may not need the side brackets after all.
