INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Measure the width of your loader arms and figure how
to best attach the loader mounting brackets so the front
loader attachment is centered on your loader.
Assemble the four (4) lift brackets on the main frame
with the
5
/
8
” x 3” I.D. U-bolts. Leave the U-bolts loose.
Measure the width of each loader arm at the lower end
(where the lower pin goes through). Then position the
mounting brackets on each side for this width plus
1
/
8
”-
1
/

”. This will keep the loader attachment from having
excessive side movement.
NOTE: The width of the loader arms will vary with the dif-
ferent makes and models of loaders. Depending on the
width of your loader and the relationship to the width of
the front loader attachment, you may need to use one of
the bracket mounting arrangements shown below. The
majority of loaders will best use the normal mounting
arrangement as shown in “A”.

ASSEMBLY – QUICK ATTACH
If your tractor loader has a bucket Quick Attach feature,
check with your dealer on the availability of adapter
brackets for your brand and model loader.
Measure the width of the front adapter on your loader
and locate the Quick Attach brackets on the main frame.
Locate these brackets so the main frame will be centered
on your loader.
Tighten the U-bolts that connect the brackets to the
main frame.
Some popular front loaders are offered with a “skid
steer universal quick-attach” to connect the bucket or
other front loader attachments. The Model SSPF-242
Pallet Fork is designed for these loader applications. See
pages 14 and 15.
Make sure latch pins engage slots to lock the frame in
place.
The Model JDPF-2000 is designed for the 200 and 300
series of John Deere Loaders. See page 16.
