Ok, I'm a hydraulics dummy myself, so there will be some corrections to what I say.... To run the loader, you need a pump, some controls, an oil resivor, the cylinders on the loader, and pipe/hose to connect it all together. Some loaders have just single acting cylinders (one hose, push one way, gravity pulls them back together) to lift the loader, & a rope to trip it. Some have double acting cylinders to both lift/lower the loader, and to tilt the bucket. Your controls will need to match the way your loader is set up. You can use EITHER: The external pump, resivor on the loader, and the controls on the loader: OR you can use your tractor resivor, pump, and built-in tractor controls. You can't really mix and match, so don't go buying loader controls until you figure out what pump & controls your tractor already has.... So, I'm not familiar with your tractor. What does it have for hydraulics? Does it have 2 levers/ ports? Are they double acting? Do you have live hydraulics on your tractor? (It's much more frustrating to use a loader on a tractor without live hydraulics - every time you push in the clutch, the bucket won't move... Might be an incentive to buy a front pump...) So, you might need to buy new controls for your tractor if you don't have the right ones now. You might want to just buy a pto or front-mount pump and new controls for your loader. But, as the other guy says, figure out where you are headed and if you can get there from here before you walk in & get a lot of parts dumped on you. If you don't understand some of the terms I used, try looking it up in a search here in the archives. Lots of good help on this over the years. And of course, ask away here. :) --->Paul
