Will this FEL fit onto a differnt tractor?

Probably should sell it and and put funds toward loader designed for your 20 to 30 hp purchase. A front pump installation takes a lot of room unless you want it sticking out the front. I had to raise radiator 2 inches for mine and it is twice the size of what you want to buy.

IMO, yes. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Juryrigging a loader to fit a tractor it's not meant for, no matter how good ones skills, can result in a tractor and loader combination that's dangerous to operate. While it might be possible to get the loader attached and all the hoses properly hooked up so the loader goes up and down and the bucket tilts, are you going to trust using it?

No offfense intended, but marrying a loader to a tractor it was not meant for is not the way to learn.

If the loader your uncle has is not meant for the tractor you find, I agree with MMM, sell the loader and put the funds towards buying a tractor with a loader.

OK, I've finally got some pictures. the bucket isn't attached, but does come with it. Does this look familiar to anyone?

thanks

Check the serial#, do some research, and buy a tractor to fit (MF230 or others).
I picked up a loader for $800 and it cost me that much again to install in materials. 4" sq tube subframe to axle, mount plates, crank drive hub and driveshaft, fitttings and hoses, bolts weld rods etc add up. I didn't include my labor, which would have probably added another $800.

well, thanks for looking anyway guys.

Somewhere on it there is a serial plate. This will identify it & you can then go from there. If it was made by a cmpany that makes tractors, then likely it will be harder to convert to other tractors. If it is a generic loader brand, then it will be set to fairly easily convert to different models of very similarly sized tractors. Look on the main frames, hidden a bit, get in on the paint if it's a new paint job. Gotta look hard sometimes....

Likely those unpainted rear brackets, and somewhere up front some brackets will need to be remade to connect the tractor & loader together.

Your new tractor will need to be the right size, and it will also need double-acting hydraulics.

Best anyone can do with the info you have provided.

The folks at ytmag.com might be able to figure out a brand from your pictures, but often several models look similar so you still need the serial plate....
