SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate  
skin and will cause serious injury or death.  
Safety is a primary concern in the design and  
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our  
„ Make sure that all operating and service person-  
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it  
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by  
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-  
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped  
out by an operator’s single careless act.  
In addition to the design and configuration of  
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-  
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-  
cern, judgement, and proper training of  
personnel involved in the operation, transport,  
maintenance, and storage of equipment.  
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
It has been said, “The best safety device is an  
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be  
that kind of operator.  
PREPARATION  
„ Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
INSTALLATION  
„ During installation, the tractor engine should be  
off, the key removed and the brakes locked. Do not  
disconnect hydraulic lines until attachments are  
removed or lowered to the ground and system  
pressure is released by operating valve levers.  
Never operate any hydraulic cylinders during any  
phase of the installation process.  
„ Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-  
ation and allows loads or equipment components  
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment  
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,  
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all  
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before  
putting into service or allowing anyone to  
approach the equipment.  
„ After connecting hoses, check that all control  
lever positions function as instructed in the Opera-  
tor's Manual. Do not put into service until control  
lever and equipment movements are correct.  
„ After connecting hoses, check that all control  
lever positions function as instructed in the Opera-  
tor's Manual. Do not put into service until control  
lever and equipment movements are correct.  
TRAINING  
„ Safety instructions are important! Read all  
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all  
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-  
ment manuals and safety decals are available from  
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check  
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,  
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-  
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules  
can result in serious injury or death.  
„ Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and  
valves are in good condition and not leaking before  
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and  
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses  
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,  
pinched, or come into contact with any moving  
parts. Operate moveable components through full  
operational range to check clearances. Replace  
any damaged hoses immediately.  
„ If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
„ Protective hose sleeves must cover all hydrau-  
lic hoses within 20 inches of the operator and be  
secured onto metal hose fittings. Replace hoses or  
sleeves if damaged or if protective sleeve cannot  
be properly positioned or secured.  
„ Know your controls and how to stop engine and  
attachment quickly in an emergency.  
„ Operators must be instructed in and be capable  
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-  
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to  
operate this equipment without proper instruc-  
tions.  
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
„ Keep hands and body away from pressurized  
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other  
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.  
„ Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.

(closed) position. The lockpins must be completely  
extended and secured into the retaining slots, Figure 3.  
Position the hydraulic hoses so they will not be pinched  
when connecting the attachment.  
The quick attach coupler handle should be in the  
unlocked (open) position with lock pins retracted, Fig-  
ure 1.

LOADER OPERATION  
Carefully move and align the quick attach coupler to  
the bucket or attachment. The top of the quick attach  
coupler must completely engage the attachment or  
bucket hook, Figure 2.  
„ Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper-  
ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic-  
ing equipment.  
Roll the attachment coupler into the attachment flange  
so the coupler handle can be engaged.  
The loader should be operated with the tractor engine  
running at a safe RPM. Excessive speeds are danger-  
ous, and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary  
strain on the tractor and loader.

Filling Bucket  
Lifting Load  
1. Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket.  
„ Do not attempt to lift loads in excess of the  
loader capacity.  
When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to  
avoid spillage, Figure 7.

Carrying Load  
Position the bucket just below the level of the tractor  
hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether the  
bucket is loaded or empty, Figure 8.  
.
Figure 8. Carrying Load  
Operating on a Slope  
Figure 6. Lift and Rollback Bucket  
„ AVOID INJURY OR DEATH FROM ROLLOVER  
ACCIDENTS:  
The lift and rollback of the bucket will increase effi-  
ciency because maintaining a level bucket throughout  
the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases break-  
away effort, Figure 6.  
• Move and turn tractor at less than 6 mph (10  
km/h).  
• Watch for hidden hazards such as holes,  
ditches, and other obstructions which may  
cause tractor and loader to tip over.  
• Carry loads close to the ground to aid visibil-  
ity and lower center of gravity for improved sta-  
bility.  
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not com-  
pletely filled during each pass. Maximum productivity is  
determined by the amount of material loaded in a given  
period of time. Time is lost if two or more attempts are  
made to fill the bucket on each pass.  
• Balance loads so weight is evenly distributed

and load is stable.  
Lift the bucket high enough to clear the side of the vehi-  
cle. Move the tractor in as close as possible, then  
dump the bucket. See Figure 10.  
• Be extra careful when operating on a slope.  
• Do not operate on steep slopes.  
• Do not stop, start or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
Lowering Bucket  
• If loader is equipped with round bale attach-  
ments, always approach bale with tractor facing  
uphill.  
After the bucket is dumped, back away from the vehicle  
while lowering and rolling back the bucket.  
• Be sure tractor tire spacing and rear ballast is  
correct before using loader.  
• Tractor must be equipped with a Roll-Over  
Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep  
seat belt securely fastened and keep foldable  
ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all  
times.  
Use extreme care when operating the loader on a  
slope, keeping the bucket as low as possible. This will  
maintain a low center of gravity for the bucket and trac-  
tor and will provide maximum tractor stability.  
When transporting the load, keep the bucket as low as  
possible to avoid tipping in case a wheel drops in a rut.  
Figure 11. Control Handle Function  
Operating with Float Control  
During hard surface operation, keep the bucket level  
and put the lift control in the float position to permit the  
bucket to float on the working surface. If hydraulic  
down pressure is exerted on the bucket, it will wear  
faster than normal.  
The float will also prevent the mixing of surface mate-  
rial with stockpile material. The float position will  
reduce the chance of surface gouging when removing  
snow or other material.  
Figure 9. Operating on a Slope  
Dumping Bucket  
Figure 12. Float Position  
Loading from a Bank  
See Figure 13.  
Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt  
slides can be dangerous. Load the bucket from as low  
a position as possible for maximum efficiency. Loader  
lift and break-away capacity diminish as loading height  
is increased.  
Keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or  
pile. This will help prevent gouging in the work area.

Loading Low Trucks or  
Spreaders from a Pile  
For easier loading, minimize the angle of turn and  
length of run between pile and spreader, Figure 17.  
Figure 13. Loading from a Bank  
Peeling and Scraping  
Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward, and hold the  
lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short 5-inch  
to 8-inch angle cut and break-out cleanly, Figure 14.  
With the bucket level, start a cut at the notch approxi-  
mately 2 inches deep. Hold the depth by feathering the  
bucket control to adjust the cutting lip up or down.  
When the front tires enter the notch, adjust the lift cylin-  
der to maintain proper depth, Figure 15.  
Figure 17. Loading  
Backgrade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep  
the working surface free of ruts and holes. Also, hold  
the lift control forward so the full weight of the bucket is  
scraping the ground. Use the heel of the bucket.  
Figure 14. Angle Cut  
Figure 18. Backgrading  
Backblading  
Position the bucket at an angle of less than 45 degrees  
and back up slowly, Figure 19.  
Backgrading with the bucket tilted too far will result in  
damage to bucket cylinders and void warranty, Figure  
20.  
Figure 15. Peeling/Scraping  
Make additional passes until the desired depth is  
reached. During each pass, only use the bucket control  
while at working depth. This will allow you to concen-  
trate on controlling the bucket angle to maintain a pre-  
cise cut, Figure 16.

Never lift loader higher than necessary to clear the  
ground. When necessary, ballast the tractor rear to  
compensate for load. Never lift large objects. Move  
slowly and carefully. Avoid rough terrain. Stop the  
loader gradually when lowering or lifting loads.  
GRAPPLE OPERATION  
The grapple fork is a clamping device and should be  
used to clamp loose hay, straw, or silage. It is not to be  
used to dig material loose from a pile.  
For loose hay or other materials, adjust the mounting  
arms and the grapple teeth in the position that provides  
the best performance.  
„ AVOID INJURY OR DEATH FROM ROLLOVER  
ACCIDENTS:  
Set the rear tractor wheels to the widest recommended  
setting. Add enough ballast at the rear end so at least  
50% of the original rear wheel weight is maintained  
when the load in the loader is at transport height.  
• Move and turn tractor at less than 6 mph (10  
km/h).  
• Watch for hidden hazards such as holes,  
ditches, and other obstructions which may  
cause tractor and loader to tip over.  
• Carry loads close to the ground to aid visibil-  
ity and lower center of gravity for improved sta-

Always carry the load on level ground or directly uphill.  
Never move along a side hill or directly downhill when a  
load is carried.  
Make sure the grapple is holding the load securely so it  
cannot roll backwards or sideways.  
Never carry a round bale in a bucket without a properly  
operating and adjusted grapple.  
Picking Up a Round Bale with Grapple  
Approach bale with grapple open, bucket level and  
close to the ground. Work bucket under bale until bale  
is against grapple frame. Close grapple, raise and roll  
back just high enough to provide ground clearance for  
transport.  
• If loader is equipped with round bale attach-  
ments, always approach bale with tractor facing

Lubrication  
NOTICE  
■
When adding oil to the tractor reservoir, always  
use hydraulic oil as specified by the tractor manu-  
factures.  
„ Never work under a raised loader. Always lower  
loader to the ground with bucket or loader attach-  
ment in full roll-back position. Shut off tractor, set  
parking brake, and remove key. Operate valve  
levers to release any hydraulic pressure. If loader  
obstructs tractor maintenance, loader must be  
removed from tractor.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
„ Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until all sys-  
tem pressure is relieved. Lower unit to ground,  
stop engine, and operate all hydraulic control  
levers.  
Daily  
___ Check the level of hydraulic oil in tractor before  
starting each day's operation. If necessary, add  
oil as recommended in your tractor owner's man-  
ual.  
___ Lubricate after every eight hours of operation;  
lubricate grease fittings at each end of each lift  
boom arm and at rod and base end of each boom  
and bucket cylinder.  
___ After every eight hours of operation, check all  
hardware and tighten where required.  
___ Replace hoses immediately if they are damaged  
by a cut or scrape, extruded at the fittings, or  
leaking. Hydraulic oil leaks should be repaired  
promptly to avoid loss of oil and serious personal  
injury from escaping oil.  
„ Keep hands and body away from pressurized  
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other  
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.

DEALER SERVICE  
The information in this section is written for dealer ser-  
CYLINDER SERVICE  
vice personnel. The repair described herein requires  
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly  
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in  
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead  
to replace complete assemblies.  
The cylinders are designed to be reliable and easy to  
service. If a cylinder should malfunction during the war-  
ranty period, return the complete cylinder assembly,  
without disassembling, to your authorized service  
department or contact your authorized service depart-  
ment for instructions. Unauthorized disassembly of a  
cylinder in the warranty period will VOID WARRANTY.  
NOTE: Repair to cylinders is limited to replacing seals,  
wear rings, and O-rings. Replacing rod, barrel, or pis-  
tons is not cost effective. Purchasing a complete cylin-  
der is more economical.  
„ Never work under a raised loader. Always lower  
loader to the ground with bucket or loader attach-  
ment in full roll-back position. Shut off tractor, set  
parking brake, and remove key. Operate valve  
levers to release any hydraulic pressure. If loader  
obstructs tractor maintenance, loader must be  
removed from tractor.  
CYLINDER REPAIR  
Threaded Rod Guide Cylinders  
Threaded guide cylinders for the LF138 and LF156 use  
two different styles of seals.  
„ Never allow anyone to get under the loader  
bucket or reach through the lift arms when the  
bucket is raised.  
Disassembly  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
On threaded guide type cylinders, unscrew guide (5)  
using a spanner wrench, or carefully use a punch and  
hammer. (Spanner wrench 1021841 is available from  
Woods to help with these procedures.) Pull on rod (1)  
to remove parts from barrel.  
„ Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until all sys-  
tem pressure is relieved. Lower unit to ground,  
stop engine, and operate all hydraulic control  
levers.  
Clamp cross pin end of rod assembly (1) in a vise with  
protective jaws. Heat threads to break thread locking  
compound loose. Unscrew piston (6) from end of rod  
assembly using a spanner wrench, or carefully use a  
punch and hammer. Remove rod guide (5) from rod.  
„ Make sure that all operating and service person-  
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it  
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by  
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-  
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
Remove and discard all seals, wear rings and O-rings.  
Clean all components in solvent and blow dry with low  
pressure air.  
Inspect inside diameter of barrel. Replace cylinder if  
damaged.  
„ Keep hands and body away from pressurized  
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other  
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate  
skin and will cause serious injury or death.  
Assembly  
For these assembly instructions the front surface of the  
threaded rod guide with two holes will be referred to as  
the "rod guide face".  
Lubricate O-rings and seals with clean hydraulic fluid.  
Install back-up washer (3D) on rod guide (5), and then  
install O-ring (3E) in exterior O-ring groove of rod  
guide. Make sure that the back-up ring is located clos-  
est to the rod guide face. Place rod wiper (3B) in outer  
rod guide groove. Install rod seal (3C) into the second  
groove from the rod guide face with the open portion of  
V-groove toward piston.  
CAUTION  
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
For bucket cylinders (Figure 31) install rings into the  
third and fourth grooves from the rod guide face.

With all of the seals installed, slide the rod guide  
assembly (5) onto rod (1).  
Lightly coat rod threads with hydraulic oil and slide O-  
ring (3A) over threads and into groove. Completely  
clean threads of hydraulic oil, apply Liquid Primer 7649  
and Loctite 242 to the rod threads, and thread piston  
(6) onto rod (1) with the two holes in the piston orien-  
tated away from the rod. Torque the piston (6) to 160  
lbs-ft.  
Install crown piston seal (3J) onto piston (6). Install off-  
set rings (3H) on both sides of the crown piston seal  
(3J) in the large groove on the piston (6). The profile of  
the offset ring (3B) should mate with the lip on the  
crown piston seal (3J). Place the “L” shaped guide ring  
(3G) on the outside of each offset ring (3H). Boom cyl-  
inders require two additional wear rings (3K) to be  
installed in the two smaller grooves on the piston (6).  
Bucket cylinders have one wear ring.  
Compress wear rings and piston seals and carefully  
insert piston and rod assembly into barrel. Use care to  
prevent damage while installing. Carefully screw rod  
guide (5) into barrel (8) using a spanner wrench, or  
carefully use a punch and hammer.

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS  
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS  
Loader Mounting Kit and Hydraulic Kit  
Installation  
Loader assembly is the responsibility of the Woods  
dealer. The loader is shipped assembled on a pallet for  
your convenience. The loader must be properly set up  
and installed to assure prolonged service life and safe  
operation.  
Install the loader mounting kit on the tractor according  
to specific mounting instructions included with the  
mounting kit and hydraulic kits.  
Loader Set-Up  
„ Keep hands and body away from pressurized  
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other  
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate  
skin and will cause serious injury or death.  
„ Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and  
valves are in good condition and not leaking before  
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and  
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses  
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,  
pinched, or come into contact with any moving  
parts. Operate moveable components through full  
operational range to check clearances. Replace  
any damaged hoses immediately.  
„ Make sure that all operating and service person-  
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it  
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by  
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-  
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
■ Lift and support all loader components safely.  
■ Stand clear of the loader while attaching. The  
loader could fall, causing serious personal injury.  
Always work safely and think clearly!  
„ Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until all sys-  
tem pressure is relieved. Lower unit to ground,  
stop engine, and operate all hydraulic control  
levers.  
Remove bucket and attachment coupler from shipping  
skid.  
Support loader frame and remove lag screws from  
plates that hold frame on skid. Lower frame to ground.  
„ Never work under a raised loader. Always lower  
loader to the ground with bucket or loader attach-  
ment in full roll-back position. Shut off tractor, set  
parking brake, and remove key. Operate valve  
levers to release any hydraulic pressure. If loader  
obstructs tractor maintenance, loader must be  
removed from tractor.  
Using an overhead lifting devise, lift loader frame and  
position tractor so uprights can be placed onto loader  
mount. Secure uprights on mounts with pin shipped  
with frame. Cut shipping straps around boom cylinders  
and remove spacer angle and protective sleeves.  
Refer to Hydraulic Hose Installation in the loader  
mounting kit. Always use hoses that have a minimum  
working pressure rating of 3000 psi and meet or  
exceed SAE 100R1 specifications.  
„ Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to  
modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo-  
nents in any way.  
Refer to Control Valve Manual for optional control valve  
instructions.  
Connect loader hoses and start tractor. Clear hydraulic  
system of air by raising and lowering boom frame and  
actuating bucket cylinders several times. After air has  
been purged from system, with loader boom on  
ground, check the tractor hydraulic oil level as shown in  
tractor owner's manual. When adding oil to hydraulic  
system, always use the type of oil specified for the trac-  
tor. NEVER MIX OIL TYPES.  
CAUTION  
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

BOLT TORQUE CHART  
Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque value or tightening procedure is listed for a specific  
application.  
Fasteners must always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list.  
Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware: SAE for SAE hardware and Metric for metric hardware.  
Make sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.  
All torque values are given to specifications used on hardware defined by SAE J1701 MAR 99 & J1701M JUL 96.
