The Model 1846 and 2246 Front End Loaders are
designed for two-wheeled drive and four-wheel drive
tractors. They are intended to lift only loose materi-
als that will fit in the bucket. All cylinders are double-
acting. A bucket level indicator allows operator to
gauge bucket position even when bucket cannot be
seen. Parking stands support loader so tractor can
be “driven in” for quick attaching. Major components
of loader are shown in Figure 1-1. Technical specifi-
cations are given in Table 1-1.
