<p>A loader (20) has a mast (26) which has, on either side, a mast post (28) and a mast arm (40) which extends forwardly therefrom. The posts (28) and arms (40) are releasably attachable to the front end of a tractor (10). The mast posts (28) for their attachment are each provided with a channel (82) at their lower ends which is received on a mounting tube (62) on the tractor (10) enabling the post (28) to swing on the tube (62) to an upright position. In so doing, a block (94) on the post (28) is brought into engagement with a wedge (74) to hold the post (28) in position. The mast arms (40) for their attachment each have an upwardly opening hook (102) which engages a bar (106) on the tractor (10). Furthermore, a U-shaped parking stand (50) is pivotally mounted on the mast arms (40) and the side legs (110) of the stand (50) also have hooks (116). The stand (50) can be swung about the mast arms (40) to engage the bars (106) at the hooks (116) which open downwardly in their bar-engaging position and thus act to latch the mast arms (40) in their attached position on the tractor (10).</p> |
