Loader 3720 w/300x loader attached wrong

[mattcage]

I broke a rule of trying to race daylight and put my loader on wrong. It is not hooked onto the frame correctly on the left side.

The left side is to far to the left off the mounting bracket while the right is on correctly.

I have tried to get the loader off the tractor, but am unable to at this time.

Does anyone have any advice? I plan on placing a jack and 6x6 and jacking up the mount and trying to get it to work that way.

At this time, the little legs the loader stand on will not come down.

Will look at it more in the daylight, but wondering if anyone has had this problem before.

Thanks,
Matt

Must be twisted and is binding a lot. Try to not break a casting...

Might need to loosen the mounting frames from that side to relieve the forces.

Good luck.

Got it off successfully last night by lifting up with a strategically placed 6x6 and a floor jack.

Had the presence of mind to not continue.
It is off the tractor and sitting by itself. Will try to reattach tonight.

Should follow my instincts and not work on stuff when tired.

Thanks all for looking.

Thanks
Matt

Or when you are in a hurry. That always seems to get me. Glad it was a easy fix.
