Charlie: You should have received a operator's manual with the tractor for the FEL. Gives instructions on "take-down". As far as who made it, My 6000 4wd came with the ML264 made by KMW. There is a manufacturer's label right at the pivot point for the arms that raise the loader. I have no complaints with mine (except that when it was assembled one of the hyd. hoses needed and extra 1/4 turn where it connected with the lift cyl line). I put a HD toothbar on it and its somethin' else. Mind you I don't baby this this tractor at all like I see some of the guys on these boards (right now its hard to tell what color the thing is due to mud buildup....) BobG in VA
