Hi Folks
I have a nice 1969 Ford 3400, Diesel, Select-O-Shift that I bought about 4 years ago for $2000.
I just purchased a Ford 19-425 (730 Loader) and bucket for it ($1200 nice shape).
On the tractor, where the pulley would normally connect to the loader drive shaft, I have just a STUB (like a previous owner had cut it off, or maybe this is what it is suppose to look like w/o the pulley).
1. does that shaft going into the tractor engine come out?
2. if yes to #1, can the shaft for the hydraulic pump go directly into the engine? (is it splined inside the engine?)
3. if no to #1 and #2 (sorry I guess it was a dumb question...) Is this a part replacement in the engine, if so what number? Also, is the loader hydraulic connection always to a pulley? (I don't need a pulley for anything that I'm aware of, for both the tractor engine, nor the loader. Just seems like extra junk, more vibration, etc. Are there better connection options than 4 bolts into the engine pulley?)
Unfortunately, it's still winter in MI, USA and I'm not about to take anything apart quite yet (I need it for snow removal).
Anyone have this same setup working and could provide photos?
