new holland 7108 loader

[Mr Holland]

I have a Ford 1520 and it calls for the Ford 7108 loader but I can't locate one. I have found a New Holland 7108 and based on the pics and measurement I can obtain via phone it looks exactly the same. It's a long way from me so I want to be sure it'll work. Anybody have any advice. I can't open any spec's for either loader on my computer.

I see info on Tractordata.com which says the Ford 1520 and the New Holland 1520 are the same machine.

The on line loader spec's are here:

Ford bought New Holland in 1985, and Fiat bought Ford New Holland in 1990. The Ford name on tractors soon became New Holland, but the blue color didn't change.

If I were in your shoes I would go for it. Both tractors are actually Japanese Shibaura's re-labeled
