        I need to remove the FEL from my Jinma 285. I have done this once before, but many years ago. I know which bolts to remove, and putting the bucket flat on the ground. I do have the two angle irons. However, I can't remember/figure out where and how these are bolted to hold the darn thing up when I roll the tractor backwards, and so that they are not in the wheel path. Help!

        Mahalo (Thank you)

          The two legs supplied with the loader should just slip into sockets on the loader arms.  They don't bold on.  They end up located so close to the bucket they make me nervous, but if you're on solid, flat ground the thing will stand there on them.  I use an overhead gantry to hang mine from a chain hoist as I have no good flat ground to use the supports.

            Thanx. Tommy had sent me a video with demo on a different tractor that made it look like a piece of cake. I, on the other hand, got royally screwed, as I was 5 years ago when I did this before (This being only the second time in 10 years). What happened: We inserted the to angle irons into the holes on the loader arm and secured the ends with the pins/bolts provided. However, when creeping backwards, the front right angle iron moved and ripped its holster — one seam broke open. From then on, there were 3 hours of hell (we have currently 85 degrees heat). With jacks and 4x4s, and, and, I was finally able the move the tractor back and out. Now, however (don't ask why), the bucket is not parallel to the ground (flat asphalt) but facing flat down. Do not have a tree to crank things upwards. Will need to think more….when I need the damn thing back on. Maybe I can rent a hoist or such. In the constant back and forth, I may have screwed up my hydraulic pump. I'm taking it off to inspect. I already have Tinbender's aftermarket Hydraulic pressure relief dealy installed. Hope it's just a gasket.

              Like I said, I made a n overhead gantry for 4x4s and used a chain hoist to dangle the thing.  I had no level ground and no faith in those wimpy angle iron legs, or the flimsy sockets they go into.  It only takes a few pieces of 4×4 to whip up simple gantry frame and then you're sure of the thing being secure.
