Woods 1012 and Great Bend 2130 FEL questions

[Mosey]

I went and looked at a NH 7308 FEL yesterday and the dealer did a demo of taking it off. It was pretty slick. I would like to compare it to a Woods 1012 FEL and some folks on this site that say they have one. None of the dealers around here have one in stock, let alone on a tractor. Can someone describe the process and does anyone have any pictures of a Woods 1012 on a tractor and how it comes off and on? I'm also interested in the Great Bend 2130 if anyone should happen to have one of those.

Danny -

Sorry, I keep meaning to go out and get a picture of my Woods 1012 loader mounted on my TC33D (in response to your private mail request several days ago). I'll try to get it tomorrow (I'm on baby duty, and shepperding around a 125# dog that just had knee surgury, so it may be the weekend before I get to it)

The process for removing the 1012 is very similar to what you described for the 7308 in another thread. I've only done it once, and that was over a year ago, so I'm not the best one to describe it. I could see where with some practice I could get the removal down to a few minutes. The reinstallation will probably take me more practice to do quickly.
