Keith: The one we had was a 31, didn't have the shoes Jim mentions, and that coinsides with his statment. I remember my dad discussing the shoes with the dealer, and dealer told him shoes went missing from every loader he sold within one year. That also agrees with Jim's statment.
Having said that, and bear in mind my dad traded off his 31 loader 53 years ago, thus my memory will be just a bit limited here. On our 31 loader I seem to remember the point where cylinder ram hooks to that 6" wide vertical link, being closer to the top, in fact within 4" of the top. Secondly, on our loader that cross member in front of steering wheel was the highest point when the loader was down. I know the steering wheel was still higher than the cross member by about 2-3 inches. My dad was trying load manure from under a low building. By removing the mufler and ducking his head he was able to go under an 8x8 beam. Problem was when he made that last push to fill the bucket, he spun the wheels on the dirt floor. When he backed out hunched over, as the back wheels went over the dirt piles from spinning the 8x8 crunched the steering wheel against the loader cross member. Nothing else hit, thus steering wheel was the highest point. My guess is those top links must have hooked lower at the back on the 31 loader. Again there could be some modification on Andy's loader.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
