Good luck. You might try a tractor salvage yard like Allied parts.

Yes I have been contacting different salvage yard everybody's gotten rid of everything when the price of iron went up I buy a whole tractor with a loader on it if I could find one that way because I would really love to restore my dad's tractor .

Jackfalcon,
Welcome to the forum!
Finding the right salvage yard is as hard as finding just the right parts you need. Add to that, the shipping itself for a loader, or a complete(ish) tractor is going to be way up there in the cost.
Add your general location to your forum information will help us to help you.
There is no reason for me to tell you of any tractor salvage yards I run across in the southeast if you live in another country or Alaska, or the Pacific NW, as it would just be too expensive to ship it that far.
However, there are ways of moving tractors (or parts) other than commercial rates.

Talk to people who spend time with farmers; equipment salesmen, milk pickup, fuel delivery. That was the network long before the internet. Those old loaders are still out there. I drove past one with a sign on it last week but couldn't tell you where.

Also, x2 on telling us roughly where you are located.




Edit; i had to search to make sure I had the right part. This guy
