How to figure out what a front end loader with fit

I've been looking for a smaller utility type tractor with a front end loader for a while now with little success. They just don't seem to have any in my neck of the woods.

In the Thrifty Nickel there is a "Heavy Duty" loader for sale for $600 this week. There is also a Ford 641 for sale for $2,850. I'm thinking I might try to match the 2 up and end up with my utility loader tractor.

Called the guy with the loader and he has no idea what brand it is or even what it came off of. It was part of a trade and he hasn't ever used it. It has the control valves and it's own hydraulic pump but he said the hoses would probably all need replaced. He said the cylinders have been closed so he really didn't know what kind of shape they were in but thought they were fine. He said the pump was not a PTO style pump but simply had a shaft that would be hooked up to the front of the tractor?

He measured it and said it was 24" wide at the front and 32" wide at the back.

I'm clueless here but even was wondering if that would fit on my Farmall M?

What do I need to know to figure this out?

Thanks, Nathan
