Hi All,
I've got a Farmhand loader (I think it's the F10, the big mongrel that surrounds the tractor w/ the 9 foot bucket, I always get the F10 and F11 confused). I seem to remember "Allan in NE" being very knowledgeable about these when I first bought it about 5 years ago.
Well, I busted it by splitting the U-channel across the lower back -- I later realized that the previous owner had cut about a 2 inch diameter hole through both of the 3 inch legs of the U, he must have run a PTO shaft through it at some point.
I jacked up both sides and had a friend weld it up real nice for me, but I didn't figure it all the way through and didn't get the two sides quite level. Not a big deal for most of my loader needs, but now when I go to push snow if I can get the left side of the bucket just off the gravel the right side is 5-6 inches up in the air. This doesn't make for a very "finished" yard or driveway.
Is there any easy or simple fix for this? Some type of extension I can rig at one end or the other? I'm picturing something like a turnbuckle or the jacks you use to level up sagging floor so I can get it just right? Or do I need to cut it apart and somehow get the geometry right before putting it back together? (In that case I'll probably just live w/ it)
Thanks. And thanks for your help earlier on the loader, tire chains for the M, and other advice you gave back them. I can't find my old ID or password, but it was probably bob something or other.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
