Edit---As often happens, I'm able to find the answer if I keep looking. Now that I understand the loader connections better, it appears that this loader has two basic designs -- one for the 4 cyl Fords and one for the 3 cyl. The four cyl. model will have a 5.5 inch "box" where the bracket "ball" fits. The 3 cyl. model has the 3 inch deep box. There are some variances in the bracketing, but the key seems to be the connection box - obviously the 5.5 inch box holds the loader a couple inches further out from the tractor frame. While a lot of guys have made modifications to make one fit the other, making some of the brackets needed to convert seems to be a chore. I didn't really know this loader existed, or that it could be had so inexpensively, so know I'm on the hunt for one that will bolt right up.
Here's the ad:
Ford One Arm Loader
Model 19-209 (711) SN 4264
Bucket is 6'3"wide
all mounting brackets
fits many tractor models Ford 600-800-900 & more
Good Condition
I've reached out to Soundguy because I know he knows the answer, but in case he doesn't reply, can anyone tell me, for sure, if this loader, with these brackets, will work on my "new" style Ford 2000 3 cyl diesel? I've read several posts and it appears that the issue is the "hub" or shoulder bracket. This one is "flat" and not the angled one. I've found a flyer on line with a Ford 3000 that has this same loader so I'm convinced it will work on the later 2000s as well as the earlier if the bracketing is right. Also, the bucket on this loader does not match anything I've seen elsewhere. The ad says it is 6' 3" so that's not stock from what I've seen. But the owner swears it is. Certainly possible that it was added by the dealer I suppose. Based upon the serial number, and comparing that to other posts where folks has posted serial numbers, I think this pre-dates my tractor by a few years so it would not have been built with the "new" 2000 in mind.
On one of Soundguy's posts he was explaining that the mounting "box" (the square box with the hole in it) needs to be 3 inches deep measured from the mast to fit the later models. If it was the one with the 5 inch length box then it would not fit. I've got the owner measuring the box now and he'll report back.
I have read so many posts I know the cons of this loader, but for me it would be useful and I have the set up where I can attach and detach as needed so would not have it on all the time. And I have no slopes.
Thanks Much.
