TC18 woods 1006 loader mount

jwfordracing · May 28, 2019

I have been scouring the internet looking for the bracket/mount that mounts to the tractor so that the woods 1006 bucket loader can be used. Does anyone know where I could find 1? I've searched Ebay and tried googling it but have not found what I'm looking for.

Does Woods not make the bracket any more?

Woods website was no help...

Call them. I have a Woods model 1012 on my NH TC33D. All of the mounting hardware/brackets came with the loader. They make (or at least made?) different mounts to fit their loaders to a bunch of different tractors. It may be that it's not in production any more, or it may be that they just don't market it. Who knows? They may have one in their system somewhere. My local dealer found me a Woods loader quick attach linkage/adapter so I could switch from my pin-on bucket to the SSQA system. They were no longer being made to fit my loader, but there were a couple of them floating around in someone's inventory.

I emailed woods through their website. They dont make the mount anymore and they really couldn't give me any information further.

Bummer. I wonder if a woods dealer could find an old one somewhere in their network.

Going to try a new Holland dealer and see if they can find something. Woods wouldn't give me any detailed information on the mount what so ever.

We have a New Holland dealer in our area who also happens to be one of the largest Woods dealers in our state. Where are you located?

Probably a little far for my local guy here in VT to be interested in helping out, but I can ask if they know of one.

Your New Holland dealer should be able to check the network of NH dealers to see if anyone has one kicking around. I would suggest also checking with a local Woods dealer. He may not have one, but they have a similar network they can check. (When I bought my Woods brush mower, the local NH/Woods dealer where I was buying my tractor was out of stock. They were able to make a deal with a Kubota dealer a half hour down the road to get one from him. I got the impression that this kind of swapping went on regularly.) Odds are that if someone has in stock the mounting bracket to put a Woods 1006 loader on your TC18, they would be eager to unload it, since it's not a current item and they are likely to be stuck with it otherwise.

I was wondering if the installation manual for my 1012 loader mounted on my TC33D would have any helpful information if you wanted to try to have someone fabricate a mount. However, it just covers the 1009, 1012, and 1016 models. Which makes me think the 1006 uses a mounting strategy different enough to warrant a separate manual. At any rate, there is not a lot of detail.
