Does anyone know what model of Leon loader fit on an 8070 AC? The loader is orange with the word Leon in Yellow.

I think certain models shared mounting measurements, and they all had to have tractor specific brackets.
For example, I think the 707 and 747 could fit the same brackets on the same tractor.
So basically you need to find 8000 Series Allis brackets for a Leon Loader.
We have a 747 Leon, and it is a stout beast, we use it to load farm machinery, it can do a 6 row corn head, and with something helping on the other side, a 8 row.
That said, ours is on a 2150 Oliver, and the Oliver/ White big cast "tub" makes a much better loader tractor than the Allis' IMO, but if you do end up going forward with it, consider modding the front axle so it sits farther forward, transferring more weight to the rear, we have heard of Allis 7K and 8K series with loaders cracking out the front engine cover due to all the flexing.

I had a leon 808 on my 8070 for a while. It was a well built loader, but even despite that, it didn't hold up very well. But it was one of the pioneers for loaders on FWA, and when you have 175 horse with FWA behind it, it has to have some iron in it. Darrel
