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.

Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
