I decided the loader is coming off for my brake issue diagnosis as the loader frame really impacts access under the hood. I have a bare side crank screw jack coming and the spot the jack needs to plug into is pretty obvious but I will need to weld up an adaptor between the jack body and the jacking point. Anyone have any pictures of their rigs?.
When I had the major electrical project years ago to fix rat damage, I did plenty of crawling up over and around that frame but decided that I really do not want to do it again. I am also looking at a future garage design for a new house and the SEE takes up a lot less space with the loader removed. The loader can stay outside while the rest can go inside.
I have read of past struggles getting the loader frame off the mounts so I expect a fair share of penetrant and occasional heating with a torch to make things interesting. That is another reason to build a jack instead of rigging something up is I expect a lot of banging and hopefully not a lot of crashing goes with the removal and subsequent replacement.
I will wait until the major fabrication is done to decide if I extend the crank handle off to the outside of the loader frame to avoid getting in the line of fire.
