Hi again
Cant win Now the front pto shaft striped on the 2 n loader
Anyway This is the 3ed one so after looking it over very carefully I saw the pump mount was mounted with only 1 bolt on each side of the loader frame.Last year I found out that the right side of the loader by the front end was not even bolted to the tractor.So of course the frame is sprung and the right hydro cylinder goes up 2 inches before the left one does.I can redo the pump mount so it's bolted to the tractor but I saw on you tube where a loader frame on a ford n tractor only went past the breather and angle iron came up crossed over the bell housing to the other side frame and it was not bolted to anything on the motor just crossed over and down to the other side frame.I was thinking if I cut the frame off to that point it would get rid of the sprung part of the frame.
Does anyone know if it's safe to do this The bell housing looks flat so the angle iron would lay nicely against it.The hydro cyl are mounted about a ft behind where I would cut the frame and a good brace runs under the tractor to the other frame So its is solid there.Has anyone ever done this or seen it on a 2n before
Thank you
