The newer style kwik way loaders come off of the subframe with two pins. It's the non self leveling loader that they still offer for newer simplicity/ariens tractors.

And yes the upright would still be the reservoir for the hydraulics. The pump would stay on the tractor. Hence why I asked about the quick connects for the hoses running from the pump to the valve and reservoir. This loader will be removable. I'll be fabricating mounts to make it similar to the kwik way but using my Johnson loader.

Here is a pic of the kwik way. You can see the bottom of the upright, there is a hitch pin. That comes out, then those bars are disconnected that run to the front end of the tractor and the loader is supported on stands. Then you simply back out of the loader just like the big ones. That's what I want to do with mine.
