I have the cylinder if still looking.

Hi, Does anyone have the instructions to remove the front loader?
One youtube video I seen says it can be removed in 15min but didn't show how.
Thanks
I have the cause of my dashboard electrical problem, rats or some other critter. I pulled the fuse panel and the intake air duct and found the remnants of a some sort of critters nest. I don't mind critters sharing space, but this one chomped through wiring. I pulled the instruments and on some connectors only 1 out 6 wires are connected to anything. Most of the wires are cut clean but others are gnawed on. Luckily the damage is centered in one specific area which runs to the dash so the starter circuit and running lights were not affected. I expect the critters are long gone as I bought the truck from someone in texas and figure that's where the damage occurred, it was shipped to northern NH and sat outdoors all winter with temps get a slow as 30 below.
If the wiring harness had color codes or if there was a electrical schematic it would be an easier fix but using what little electrical diagnosis there is in the manuals I guess its down to tracing wiring and reverse engineering what is inside the dash components .
Obviously you are the MOG guy. Very impressive motor pool. But I'm not quite following what you mean. There is a 4x4 support sitting on some bricks going to the bottom of square box where the jacking device would go. Are you concerned that the support could be knocked out when backing away or approaching? The bucket is sitting flat on the ground. The hydraulics are completely relived with no tension by working the controls back and forth with the PTO disengaged.Careful there. If that bucket rotates the least bit you will find the loader embedded in your hood and grill.
that what I do to. Swing all the way to the right side of the vehicle then lift the outrigger on the right side to push the arm into locking position.Seems to be pretty standard that getting the backhoe back and locked is a pretty common issue. Mine has it. I asked this question before and folks with experience stated that in order for it to swing back enough to lock is to bring it back at full speed, most new owners try to go slow and it doesn't work. I have tried it full speed and it gets closer but it hasn't latch yet so I swing the bucket to stow position and use the stabilizer arm to lift up on the bucket and it goes into place.

Pictures would be nice.I ended up with the optional ripper bucket. it is not shown in the manuals but is listed as an optional part. It is a beast with some major hardened steel hooks welded to the back of the bucket. makes for a not very neat hole. I plan to be looking for a standard bucket once I get some bugs worked out.
