JD 2240 Front Loader Blocking Starter

[blkhk1up]

I have a 1979ish 2240 with a front loader. i have to replace the starter solenoid. however i can't remove the starter or the solenoid as the front loader frame is in the way to remove the mounting nuts.
is there any tricks of the trade to remove the starter or at the very least the solenoid. i seem to be at a loss.
oh and i can't start the tractor to use the bucket to remove the frame by tilting the bucket.
help help

Do you have access to a forklift or another running loader? One guy can use it to pick up your bucket slowly while the other holds the scv open so the cylinders can drain

all i have is a 12 ton bottle jack. no lift or loader. sitting in a barn. the entire frame looks like it needs to be removed as well as the bucket.

Sounds like you'll need to support your loader so you can pull the frame bracket on that side. Maybe a chainfall, come along, block and tackle, etc. off your roof trusses if you have suitable ones. Alternatively building/borrowing/renting a gantry or you may get away with a large cherry picker. You cold also rig something with wedges to support from below on the loader crossbar if you have clearance

Also someone may be able to suggest a tool or angle of attack without removing the loader bracket if you post some pics

Model of loader and pictures help. Removed a starter from a 2440 w/145 loader. Wasn't easy but loader did not come off. Borrowed a modified socket or something. Been about 20 years.

I'd pull start the tractor, get in running, remove loader.
