treat at as two different pieces of equipment. Check out the tractor and buy/don't buy it based on it's condition. If you want the tractor, block it out and look at the loader. If you like both, then work it some. I have a 26HP IHC that I bought and bought a loader later and installed it. If you can have someone put a strain on it by lifting against something that you know is too heavy (don't bust anything, just enough that you know the load is too much) and watch the console for signs of cracks, weakness, or movement in general (especially where it mounts). If you're happy with that, buy it and have fun. I've got the trip mechanism on mine with a 32" bucket and fork. You can hook up a 2 way cylinder pretty easy, but the cable takes up less room and doesn't leak oil.

Good Luck,

Dave
