Ford Loader Fitted To Tractor Without Hydraulics

Ford Loader Fitted To Tractor Without Hydraulics TRACTORS Loaders 27-2-11 "It's a handy, lightweight loader that serves my needs perfectly," says James Marley, Decatur, Ill., who modified an old Ford front-end loader to fit his 1945 Allis Chalmers D-14 tractor that had no hydraulics. Marley mounted a hydraulic pump on front of the tractor that's belt-driven off the engine crankshaft. He uses the loader's hollow frame as the oil reservoir. "I bought the loader at a sale for just $25 and I got the other parts for little or no cost," notes Marley. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, James J. Marley, 5072 Forest Parkway, Decatur, Ill.
