Just re-registered today! I bought my tractor and promptly found out that my engine needed rebuilding.( my one bad purchase on ebay).
it is now 1 1/2 years later and with my engine completely rebuilt and my hydraulics too we are finally getting to use our tractor. I also did the rattle can paint job and new decals so it looks great too!
Anyway my question is: I have a westendorf WR-20 rear loader on my tractor which is a great poor man's loader. I also have a mid mount mower on there in the summer. see profile picture. in order to use the loader, the deck is bobbing up and down when i move the loader up and down. I was wondering if there is any way to raise the deck and tie it up for when i want to use just the loader. Sure is a lot of trouble to take the deck off every time and the loader sits so close to the tractor it is not a problem having it on there all the time. Thanks for the input!

Sounds like a great opportunity to do some creative problem solving.

-Wedge a tire between the tractor and mower deck and use cargo straps to pull the deck tight.
-Weld tabs where 2 shocks can attach to the deck and tractor.

Are either of these viable options?
