D14 with factory loader

Mr.Ferguson · Nov 1, 2018

My ?58 D14 is a little special (apart from having the worlds most destroyed PS pump) I believe it has a factory Wagner loader on it. The loader serial tag says AC D14 130. So I?m assuming that it has been with the tractor since new . Now, I know the consequences of having a loader on a tractor that was NEVER designed to have a loader. For example, the power steering system was overloaded and broke into many pieces (two headaches per piece). Which has lead me to find another pump, which is easier said than done. But, I was wondering if anyone has ever seen such setup. It was hard to find a photo of mine, but I found one. So here you go

Just curious, is this an actual photo of your tractor, or one like it you found? I ask due to the looks of the photo and your wording in your post.

My guess is the loader was added by a dealer, possibly when the tractor was new. Given Wagner was primarily an aftermarket supplier I would interpret the tag to identify it as a model 130 loader kit for a D14. It would seem regardless of the tractor, the loader was on, a lot of the 130 loader parts would be the same across that series, the differences would be in components needed to mount the 130 loader, and its pump, on different manufacturers' tractors.

How have you made out with the leads people gave you on power steering pumps?

This is an actual photo of it. It was my first tractor. We are getting places with the pump. All states has a lookout for one. And a couple of other
people are trying to look for one.

I have exactly the same loader on my D14. I have only had my tractor since 2012. I assume it to has been custom fitted but previously used on a different tractor as the adapter brackets are very robust but not exactly factory looking. The power steering works beautiful on my tractor but my impression of the loader is that of being a little more than what a D14 should have. The front axle has a slight bend to it if you look closely - evidently capable of more lifting than suits a D14. The loader controls are on the right side where you really need your hand to operate the high-low shuttle.
