It's a tubular loader, don't know what model. Bolts onto back axle, that bit I can work out, there are some struts that go down to the front somewhere, exactly how or where do they go?

I can take a better photo if it helps, although it isn't complete anyway... (ignore the H-beam with the 4 holes):)

One pipe runs horizontal from around the ram mounting; one pipe slopes down from where the loader frame pivots, they are joined together at the back of a triangular plate, which is fixed to the front of the engine block

Thanks everyone for the help and advice. It's not my loader, I'm just helping a lad in the village, but he has decided he is not going to bother, well not now at least,
@Jungle Bill them is the same front brackets that came with the loader but don't seem to match up to the tractor here, diesel, @smcapstick is that a diesel tractor in your photos?
Is a T bar really needed?

Yes, it's a diesel.

You need the T-bar to lock the linkage so the oil pressure and flow runs through the valve to the loader. Otherwise, you would only move the arms up and down, as they are a lighter load.

When the arms are right up, the pump stops pumping, so you need something to hold the arms down. I don't think the normal adjustable-length drawbar stays are strong enough but we had a pair which were made from maybe 3/8" thick bar, and used them with the 9-hole drawbar. I've never seen others like them so probably aftermarket, possibly Vapormatic, I don't know?

Once the arms get to the top won't oil then go to the loader? I know I can get oil flow from the tipping pipe on the 65 once the arms get to the top

Edit, maybe thats with the draught lever up too?
Dad's old 65 wouldn't tip a trailer with the arms up

The drawbar stays are definitely not strong enough. We had them to keep the counter weight up when loader was on the 35. The diverter valve got knocked the wrong way and arms came up and they bent, more than once

That's probably what they were then. I think they came with the tractor/loader, and were strong steel, not something blacksmith-made
I can remember seeing ones made with heavy flat bar with something like 1/2inch square added to make a t , think they were smiddy made though.
