one arm loader brackets

[kermkep]

Where can I find the brackets to mount a one arm loader on my 601 workmaster Ford tractor.

there are 3 brackets needed.

2 can be torched., one is a trans bracket, and while I have seen at least one person make it.. it's much more difficult to do so.

cruze the classifieds, and for sale sites.

ps.. the lil bracket is used with the long narrow bracket that has 2 holes in it.. it also has a lil spacer with it.. that way 2 bolts can carry the forces vs 1.. this is the lower strap bracket.. 3/8 material is fine.. front bracket is 1/2" plate.. side bracket is cast.

Soundguy,

Shouldn't there be another strap that holds up the front bracket?Thought I saw one in the manual.

technically there is. I think I have 1 tractor that has it.. it's that important..

Would it be possibe for you to give me some dimensions for these brackets. Length, width,
hole sizes and dimension between holes. I"m sure I can make them if I knew what sizes to make them.

That is well stated! LOL

the 2.5 flat ones, sure.

the cast one.. hard to fab..

if you email me your snail mail address i'll just trace them on paper for you to dupe.. probably more accurate that way..

i've been lifting bales that are at the max rating of these 1-arm jobs.. and none of the units doing that have the extra lil 1/4" thick x 1" wide x 4" long tab that hits the engine..

I think it's more of a locator or something...

hard to get at.. so most either stay on the tractor when the loader comes off.. or don't get put back on IMHO..

I built my brackets for my 3000. It is not that hard if you can weld and use a torch. Put the loader up against the tractor and start measuring and building. A machinest friend help me with cutting some of the plates but it can all be done by hand. I took me a few days and it was a done deal.

Might also get lucky and find a set but they seem really hard to find. I posted some pics here. I will see if I can find them and repost.
