First post here and I realize that SkidSteer is not set up for Fords.
I have an '86 Ford CL45 loader with no manual. I want to remove the bucket. It has a handle above the bucket that turns a spindle that's supposed retract the 1" pins that engage the bucket sides. That spindle seems stuck and I can't turn it with the foot long handle. It may be a bit rusted below (where I can't get to to even oil) but it seems like it's really stuck !!
Is the something to unfasten to allow the lever to rotate the spindle to withdraw the pins?
Any help is appreciated !!
