We ran two A64's for a few years and as a loader to operate, I quite liked them. We did everything with them, from feeding the crusher, clearing trees and cleaning out dams. We had to be careful in dams and on slopes, because they were a little bit tippy, or they gave that impression, but I do think some of that was because the operator was sitting up fairly high. Both these machines were up around the 11 - 12,000 hour mark and the only real problems we had were with the axles. They had inboard brakes incorporated with the diff, which ran in the common oil and they caused a lot of problems for us. The axles ran frightfully hot, but we were running them hard, to keep up to the crusher. The engines gave no trouble, but we did rebuild one transmission.
I do have the specs on the Ford A62, A64 and A66 loaders if anyone is interested.

Here is one in action.

Not likely to be a lot of Ford loader owner/operators on here. Most would have to look on google but you can do that yourself. For some things this site is like a 911 for equipment issues but not for everything involving heavy equipment and every brand of equipment.
