Ford F1700 with Bradco Front Loader Control broke

Hi All,

Thank you in advance as I may have my terms wrong as I'm a complete novice.

1979 Ford F 1700 with a Bradco system.

The hydraulic control lever broke and the arms won't lift. Please advise as to where to find the part. Sorry I don't know the name of the part. I can't find a manual for this model.

I was told that a friend of my In-Laws, who fixes tractors for a living, got the part on Amazon but hasn't had time to install it. I'm here visiting the farm and need to get to work and this tractor is key!

Thanks again!

Good pictures, but not sure what part you need. It looks like the knuckle is missing.
Can't you get in touch with the mechanic?

Thanks TractorTech,

I'm not sure what parts are exactly missing either. I added a graphic about what seems to be missing. While it's a straight line, the hole at the top is about two inches to the side of the bottom piece, so the part probably has a knuckle.

I'm trying to get ahold of the mechanic, but besides being overloaded with work, he has a brand new baby boy born a week ago. And the parents are first-time parents, so a bit overloaded. I'm hoping I can get ahold of him and simply pick up the part and I'll figure it out. But until then, I'm here!

Thanks!
