Yes, looks like I am missing everything engine related under the hood, last guy parted out a 200 series tractor and swapped all that in to it. Missing hood and fenders.Looks like a project,,

fixing every pivot hole is already on the list.Other mods you might consider Loader Bucket modification - more 'bearing area'
didnt weigh it to start with but by adding 4” of width and a 1/2 cutting edge probably added 15 to 20 pounds at tops. The cutting edge is butt welded to the front edge of bucket so maybe added 1/4” of thickness there is all.Damm nice work! Curious, have you weighed it? Every pound of bucket is a pound less payload. Used to see this on farm loaders, guy builds great bucket but heavy. No you won't ever bend it, but either he couldn't get it to dig or couldn't lift much of anything with it. Today's loaders come with pretty good buckets now and the lift capacity is more than double of ones built back in the 60s and 70s.
