Mine was the year the model carried the Ford name, a 1996.
I did have to put a water pump on mine year before last. The YT Mag folks fixed me right up and at great savings I might add. I think I placed the order around 4 p.m. and the water pump arrived two days later.
I have replaced several of the loader hoses. My tractor sets out in the weather so I expect mostly sun deterioration.
The load is easy on and easy off. Drop the two bolts just in front of and below the operator platform and then use the joy stick to lift the back of the unit a little. Slowly back away and continue to swing the frame down as it slides away. When out from under it the frame should be upright.
Back up just enough that you can easily get to the quick couple hose releases and shut the tractor off. Move the joy stick all around to release pressure in any cylinder, uncouple, and away you go. Make sure your couplers and hoses are color coded or otherwise marked to facilitate correct placement.
To re-attach. Drive close and shut off the tractor and couple up the hydraulics.
Once coupled up drive forward near the tangs on the frame and begin tilting it. It comes down on the front guides. When the bolt holders get close to the front tires you will need to drive forward to slide the frame up and back. Also watch that it doesn't catch the muffler. Once back in position you just put the two bolts back in to secure it. I add a touch of grease to the bolts or I'd use some anti-seize compound otherwise.
On and off probably takes about 5 minutes. Lot easier to change fluids with it off so you should give it a try.
Also make sure the front of the frame hooks the pins for them correctly.

Today's Featured Article - The Engine Rebuild Kit - by Curtis Von Fange. I always liked engine rebuild kits. They have all the replacement parts for overhauling an engine without going to the store to get gaskets, special measuring tools, or miscellaneous parts. They come neatly packaged, clean and tidy. But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
