CM this is the thread I'm talking about. Check out the measurement for 22% to see if yours is the same.See post # 62

Murph, have you had a chance to install yours? Did it fit?

Yes Fit very well, thanks to you. You put yours on?

Nope. Haven't made it yet.

Did you through bolt?

Murphy1244,

I saw this thread originally when Bob 42 posted his drawings and pics of the metal work he designed. I'm not sure what you're asking me about the 22 degree angle? Why would my frame be different than yours? To my recollection my tractor was mfg. in Jan , '10. Possibly there are changes since mine was made and yours? Is that what you're trying to figure out?

Look at his drawing. Is yours at 22% or 15 %?

No, I tapped the frame. 3\8-16

I don't see any reference to 15degrees in the drawings?
I don't know where to measure to determine the number anyway without a template or some other way of determining what to measure...
Do you have any method to do the measurement you're asking for?

I think it might have been 30 degrees not 15 that was in the drawings Murph was referring to. In any case, Murph found out that on his tractor the correct angle was 22 degrees. On mine it is neither 30, 22 or 15 but rather flat. There appear to have been a number of small design or fabrication changes over the years that affect the angle of the loader frame support structure as it passes inside the area where the FEL hoses connect to the valve. Best to measure individually.

Mine was 15 not the 22 shown on the drawing.CM, You have to look at the drawing on post 62 to know what I'm posting about.

I looked back further in the thread and found pics of the angles you're referring to. I think they are on page 2, in addition to the drawings Bob42 showed on post 62.
I will measure mine when I find time and report back.
