Looking to maybe install an F11 loader on a WD. I found one for sale locally. From what I have read online, it looks like there were brackets available to install on a WD. I may have to fab something up, but thats ok. Does anybody have any pictures? I am wondering how it gets around the fenders, hand clutch, and pedals. Maybe the fenders have to come off? Thanks.

I think your rear wheels have to be moved out about as far as they go, then the resr will clear the fenders, we had a Dual and on that we took the fenders off.

Thanks for the input Jim. I ended up buying an F11. Here it is when I got it home:

I decided to initially set the rear wheels all the way out, and remove the fenders to start with. The F11 has a tubular structure that ties the vertical frame pieces together and allows for routing of hydraulic hoses from one side to the other. There is some adjustment in this and I set the vertical posts at the widest setting. Used a gantry type crane to pull it off the trailer and position it on the WD:

Ended up breaking some bolts due to rust. Gonna run to the hardware store in the morning to get new stuff. Hopefully will get it mounted up tomorrow while the weather is still good.
Does anybody have any instruction for how to bleed the hydraulic system?

Yeah, I feel like i could remove and install the loader pretty quick now that I have the axle brackets adjusted. Finished installing just as it was getting dark. Fired it up and the high pressure line from the pump has a bad spot in it. Leaked pretty good, but I was able to operate to verify the pump, valves and cylinders seem ok. Here is a quick video the wife took:

All the AC's I've seen with those long FarmHand loaders on them never had the fenders installed. We used a Du-All on our WD45D and the fenders had cutouts for the vertical frame. It also had the oil reservoir as part of that frame, which helped with the clutter. I watched a D19 sell with one one it, the nice fenders were sitting beside the tractor. I wound up making a deal with the buyer to haul the tractor for him and I took the fenders in trade.

Yeah, the fenders will not work without being cut. I may buy some reproductions and cut them up for when I have the loader on like you did with your Du-All.

I am wanting to install a pump between the motor and steering gearbox, driven off the crank. I have seen the Allis Chalmers pump setup that they sold with there loader. Something like that.
