Front-End Loader Need to Identify this Loader.

[TRX]

Its on a 1977 Diesel 4600, Its marked as a Ford FEL, Cant reall make out the numbers though.
Front mounted Pump, Fluid Reservoir in the Cross member and frame.
Has a pretty extensive cage around the pump.
what I can find listed as compatible FELs are Ford 772A 772QT.
I dont think it is either...
I will be taking better detail photos later today.
TIA

Unless it has a metal tag attached identifying it as Ford brand,there's good chance it's a different brand and someone just put a sticker on it. If it has a metal tag,try to carfully clean it and shine light on it at different angles. You should be able to get at least one number which would be a big help.

Looks like a Ford 730 with blue paint.

Just the way it sits and the shape of the arms reminds me of a Canadian loader company that made a lot of loaders mounted as original equipment on compacts in the 1980s. I believe the company was OME, does anyone know for sure about that company?
I could tell a little more if I could see the ends of the cylinders. OME tended to use rebuildable cylinders with a big cast fluted nut where the seals go.
They also used an unusual clamping system to clamp the loader to the round stubs sticking out of the side of the subframe - but that one looks to have been modified in that area. There's been a lot of welding on that loader. That makes me doubt it originally fit the 4600.
A separate pump driven off the nose of the crankshaft was pretty popular at that time. Older tractors didn't have a lot of spare hydraulic flow.
I'm curious, what difference does it make who made it?

First thanks for the replies!

Jaxs No Tag but its has Ford on the Fame (that raised part at the bottom of the lift cylinder on both sides along with some numbers)

Rick, I think your right, after posting this I got digging through the repair manual for the Tractor and tucked in the back was a user manual and install manual for a 730 loader.

rScotty well it helps to nail down the specs if I knew who made it. Pump lost the front seal and was leaking, took me a couple looks to see it I was able to reseat it
now I am hoping its just a lost retaining ring.

The Pumps a 24500-500c which is a discontinued Cessna pump, it appears that Ford part # 7000206 is a replacement and a little further searching showed that that may also be a discontinued part but I have found a few new or at least new old stock.

Hope its a simple fix if not its a simple matter of throwing money and time at it ....

I cant find any specs on the cessna if anyone knows that would be great or a service manual?
The ford has specs but I dont know how it differs from OEM pump or even if that is the OEM pump.

First tractor so I'm kind of out of my element a little bit.
Bought it on a whim, Loader , back Blade and a Long Back hoe.
At least my drive way is once again navigable lol.
