Iron Horse 284

I am trying to find the part that lifts the bucket to an Iron horse
284.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't look like there's much there to fix. I'd be looking for a replacement loader valve. Lots of them available but it will require a little effort on your part to get the mounting and plumbing done correctly.

Would you know where I may get this part?

I'm curious to see how that works out.

This gentleman built me a kit for my 2007 Jinma, very very happy with it. I would start there. I believe text is a faster response, phone number on this site.

Could you post a picture of your tractor with this kit on it? Also was it hard to install?

I'll try to photo this weekend but doubt it will show you much as it will be different than yours.
My 2007 Jinma with the ZL-20 loader had the stock single handle valve that weeped and oozed since new and I finally called Ronald about 4 years ago. He asked me a bunch of questions until he knew what I had. Sent me a retro kit that had the right connections and hoses and brackets etc. Bolted right on. As I said earlier, very happy with it. Only thing that ticked me off was that I put up with the old one for so long.
Try to find placards or model/serial numbers before you call.
