Has anyone here built a loader for their tractor?

I am considering building a loader for my MF135 since I can't ssem to find one. Have any of you ever taken on a project like that? I have the equipment and the skills, but I suppose I need one to kinda copy. Comments?

You might try over at <www.machinebuilders.net>. There are several folks over there who have built their own loaders.

Here are two Threads on the subject. I designed and built one for my Dayton (MTD 990) 1976 tractor. Here are some pictures of my tractor.

I also was interested in building a loader for my YM 1510D (I have not yet, but am still thinking about it and when I have the money I probably will.) There are several people here who have build the CAD Plans loader for their tractors.

Now I can only find this one. I KNOW that someone with a Yanmar 155 (maybe) also made a CAD Plans loader.

I bought a cracked old loader, just the boom and cylinders, and built my own loader around it, with quick attach, tractor subframe, etcetera.

If you read the thread, and my reasons for building it, i think you'll understand why i give a negative advice for putting a loader on a featherweight 35 without power steering...

I think I know where I can find you a loader. This same model fits the 135 too.
