Looking @ buying an used 1086 but i would like a front end loader on it. I know i could buy one with a loader but, i have found that you should never buy a used tractor with a new paint job, steam cleaned, or a loader on it. (I am put this on here for a older guy, so i have no tech knowledge)

my husband said check the hydrolic fluids, they could just be low or you may have a leak. He said if you have a leak and you raise the loader you see the fluid squirt out. Hope this helps.

There's plenty of company's out there that make after market loaders, but the fact you do not have the skill to actually install all the hydraulics and most likely tools and equipment to install the loader itself, you should go to the shop that will be doing the install, most will have a vendor they do business with, or have connections on where to get a used one. and in the tractor business that's called a Dupont Overhaul, and there's nothing wrong with buying one with a loader on it as long as it hasn't been beat to death
