Removed the loader form the 801 today

Today, for the first time in 20+ years, my great grandpa's 801 PowerMaster Diesel does not have a loader. It was a job taking it off. I think it was almost grown to the tractor lol. I think it looks 100% better without it and it also drives better. To our surprise the front end is still tight as can be. Hopefully in the next few months the tractor will be took apart and painted, what needs replacing will be replaced and parts will be added as needed. As of right now I don't think I will be installing the loader back on the tractor. It will need to be sand blasted if I do decide to paint it. Thought I would share some pictures with you guys.
