Well, the easy answer is that the westendorf loaders, you flip the locks on the front of the tractor, put the bucket on the ground and back away slowly while using the hydraulics to "raise" the loader. Then it sits on the bar with the locks, and you go unhook the hoses.

As for our loaders... With the stanhoist loader on the 560, we pull the two pins on the bottom of the hydraulic cylinders,set them on the ground, pull the pins at the hinge point, unhook the hydraulics, and back away. That leaves the mounts on either side. For those, we use a chain hoist on U-bolts in the shop rafters and a couple log chains to support it while we unbolt the mounts.

If we didn't have that, we'd probably use another tractor/loader or skid loader to support it.

Again, sans another loader, we'd cut up a couple big blocks of wood like we use to support cars when we work on them, and probably break out the old antique hi-lift jacks to do any lifting required on the loader mounts. Bottle jacks would probably also be enlisted in a pinch.
