loader on 2n

I have a 2N and have acquired a wagner fel for it. I understand I can run it off the 3pt test port but would rather have a separate hydraulic pump on the front. Anyone have any info on what pump, drive shaft, control levers to buy? or if there is a kit I could buy? I have read a lot of post telling people not to do it because they are a bear to run. If that is your only input you have to offer spare me. I'm sorry you couldn't handle it pumpkin. any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I'm not going to tell you not to do it.
I will tell you if I only had one tractor I definately would not want a loader on it.
I did have a loader tractor for a few years but got rid of it.
Loader makes a behemoth out of it for plowing, discing, mowing and other jobs.
If your purpose for building this loader tractor is because you need a loader about 75% of the time then by all means do it. Then again, I would look for a model that had power steering.
But that's just me.
I have gotten along pretty well these last few years with a boom pole, front snow plow, back blade and rear scoop instead of a loader.
And my tractor stays light, lithe and nimble for other puropses.
 
Probably best to go to the other N tractor site and check out the manual. You will also need a pulley and maybe a resevior if not in the loaders frame. You didn't state which model loader you have. Did you get all the brackets for it?

" If that is your only input you have to offer spare me."

There is a reason people will tell you that. It's called experience.

So, while you are buying $500-800 worth of parts that you think you need (pump, drive shaft, control levers) don't forget to buy a later model oil pan because loader use causes them to crack, along w/ front wheel bearings, 16" tires & rims and a new center axle.

And when you are done, you will learn how to make a small fortune fixing up old tractors: start w/ a large one.

You asked this on one of the other forums yesterday I believe and you where told and even given pictures of how to do the front crank shaft driven pump so I would go find your other post and have a look see at it since you got your answers there

A lot of what you need depends on teh exact model and what if any of the mounting hardware comes with it. If it is a trip bucket and no pump likely a WM1 which was designed to run off teh tractor's test port. That means you will have to fabricate a pump mount in addition to acquiring teh other bits. I can provide a turnkey package to do it if you decide that rolling your own is to difficult: [u:9b800687f0]N-series pumps[/u:9b800687f0]

I just found your post on Tractor Talk and your comment about just using the tractor/loader for sawmill work.
In that case, disregard my earlier post and go for it.
 
No big deal all I was doing is pointing out that you had good answers there already
 
You have to make sure you click the box that says e-mail notification or you will not get any. If I remember right you asked on the tractor forum at the top and most like it is now on page 2 or 3
 
I just looked for it. As of right now it is on Tractor talk page 2 the very last post so it will not be long and it will be on page 3
