I am about to pull the front grill and frame of track loader in order to remove the radiator for repair or replace. I was just wondering what system others have used to block the loader bucket and frame in raised position to allow safe work on removal. thanks

Piece of angle iron, cut to length, and hose clamped over the cyl rod should do the trick...

I welded 2 pcs of 2by2 angle into a U channel. Then welded couple of washers 1/2 way on one end. U-channel slides over the ram shaft, and a PTO clip goes through the holes of the washers to safely secure U-channel from falling off.
I use these to keep the bucket from lowering itself to the ground.

If it has a good heavy brush cab like my HD6G's did I would raise it all the way then use 2 heavy chains to bind it up. Please Notice I said 2 chains. My bucket was very heavy. Always worked for me.

On my 7G the bucket was too heavy where I was actually seeing distortion on home made cylinder supports. I chose to unpin the bucket as well just supporting the arms.

If you use the angle iron or other stop over the cilinder rod - be sure the packing gland on cylinder is not part of support system - a adjustable packing gland like on HD5B will distort or crush packing material if force is put against it .
I have used 4x4 timbers under raised bucket as well as chanel iron clamped over rod .
Seems on dump trucks any time a box is raised 2 types of stops are used under box to prevent lowering .
Was a nice feature on my New Holland 785 Skid Loader - they had a built in boom safety stop behind seat to prevent boom lowering to pinch or kill zone

I believe I will chain lift to the ROP canopy and place the backhoe dig boom under the boom also. Plus angle iron for fail safe also. better safe than dead.

Well I chained loader across canopy, set 4 x 4 post under raised frame, and put backhoe boom under loader also. I think that will work ok.
