Front-End Loader Tips: Attach loader flat on ground/off stands

[avictor]

I've got a loader laying on the ground off the stands. The mid section needs to lift up over the front tires to be installed. Any tips for doing this? Can it be done by attaching the hydraulics and extending the arms? Or will I have to pull the loader up onto a stand.

Maybe somebody has been through this.

Thanks.

Your plan might work if the bucket is heavy enough NOT to be jerked around by the loader arms/frame - or, if you have enough tractor weights you might be able to put those in the bucket near the lip and try it - just do NOT have ANY body parts under any part of it til it's secured... Steve
