MF 1020
I am trying to source a MF 1014 loader for my 1020 tractor. I am to the point of perhaps having one fabricated. Would anyone like to share with me pictures of the loader frame bolted onto the tractor and also the hose hookups to the tractor. I have just purchased this tractor so it's all new to me. I am also trying to get my hands on the operation manuals. Are original MF manuals available? The PDF version would be OK. Where could I get a copy and appx what would the cost be? Ebay?

This may not be the answer or advice you are looking for... but if you are contemplating having someone fabricate a loader for you, by the time that's all said and done, and you add in the costs for the 4-way valve & hoses, I suspect it will probably come out the same (total cost wise) as if you bought a tractor with a loader already installed. My suggestion is since you just bought the tractor, sell it, and go find something that already has a loader and works just fine. Not saying you aren't capable of doing what you propose, just saying that it will be so much easier, and save you much time and effort, if you just sold the tractor you have and go buy one with a loader.

My first tractor was a two wheel drive JD750. Then I decided I wanted one with MFWD, so I traded it on a JD750 with MFWD. That was great for a few years... till I decided that I wanted one with a FEL on it. So, I sold that JD750 and went and up-sized at the same time and bought a JD790 with a FEL already installed. I haven't regretted any of the upgrades. That's the problem with these CUT's, they can make you want to empty out your wallet, once you get hooked on them. Almost like a drug addition lol.

That's good advice and I was considering it. I acquired the tractor at a good price and it has low hr's. I looked at an MF L90(FEL only), new never used, sitting out in a yard since 2012. I don't know what they want for it and with a few mods I think I can get it to fit. The problem with getting these tractor/loader packages is the $$, at least in my area. You just can't find one at a reasonable cost for the home owner/hobbyist and if you do they are old and have lots of hr's on it. My 1020 is a 1988 model I believe, 4WD, 750hrs and never had a FEL attached. I will see how much $$ for the L90 FEL tomorrow. Any thoughts on a good offer in CAN $$ for the entire package. It has a bucket, mounting frame, which I know will have to be modified, hoses, and joy stick control, valves... I think this would be a better solution than starting from a scratch fabrication.
