Mounting Implements on MF50

I got a MF50 last summer and would like to put a front loader on it. There is what looks like an inspection cover for the clutch with four large bolts. These bolts look way to big to just hold this cover in place. Can I use these four bolts to attach a cross member which would support the verticle members of a front loader? If not how would I go about attaching a front loader? Thanks for any help.

I noticed the same thing about those bolts. They look ridiculously big for the task. I could only conclude that because of their location they could take such a beating (like being dragged across a stump) that they had to be big and strongly placed. You don't need them however to mount a loader. Either the original MF loader or after market ones (I have an old second hand Allied on my 50) are mounted in the front on either side to the frame and at the back. On the front you will find four holes in a square pattern drilled into the frame just behind the tin where it also bolts into the frame. At the back the arms that run parallel to the frame on the outside of it (You step on them to get on and off the tractor) run from those front bolts and attach under the rear axle by extending the four bolts that hold the fenders on above the axle. We put an additional spacer plate there to get the loader arms at jsut the right height so that they would run parallel to both the frame and the ground.

This way you are attached solidly to the front on either side and to the back on either side. When you are mounting the units you mount two independent, separate pieces, one to either side of the frame, that are not connected together except as follows:On the older model loaders like mine, a "hoop" of steel runs over the top of the hood and attaches to the vertical arms that rise from the frame on either side of the steering wheel (the one on the right is where you hydraulic control valves are mounted) to give suport to those vertical arms and to the whole structure, nothing running under the belly across the tractor sideways.
