What size loader in what scale? That is the first question for you that comes
to mind. The solution can't really be described in words, but I can show you a
link to the one I did a while ago.

If you are building in a bigger scale then use several big 72-toothed turntables
on top of each other for the joint. Will it steer pneumatically or with gears?
Jon Fors designed a huge pneumaticly steering wheel loader last year.

Not to be narcissistic, but I did a pneumaticly steering compacter a while
ago.
