I acquired a Sauder loader for my TO-20. It has power up and gravity down along with a trip bucket. This loader can with brackets that hold the 3-point arms in the down position. The hydraulic lines are missing and I am wondering how to plumb to my internal hydraulic pump. I was told this loader was made for my tractor and I am trying to figure out how to install it to my tractor.
Thanks!

Hi there. You may use the holes as suggested, or you may use the hole down on the left side, in the hydraulic pump cover. It is angeled backwards about 45 deg. or something like that. The thread there is 1/2" UNF as far as I know. I hope someone can correct me if I am wrong.
If you had a TE 20 the upper holes in the hydraulic cover should be 1/2" British Standard Pipe, but I think the lower holes are the same in the TE and TO tractors, and that should be 1/2" UNF.

I hope this helps a little.

Bill

Craig, look at the hydraulic lift cover under your tractor seat. You will see plugged ports on the left & right sides of the top cover, towards the front of the cover. The ports probably have allen head plugs in them now. That's where you connect your internal hydraulics. Those ports are called "test ports". You will not get speedy lift capability using your rather slow internal pump, but it will work. Warning... I do not believe those ports are standard pipe thread, but a machine thread for hydraulic connections, so you will need the correct fitting to screw-in there. I have heard of guys drilling and tapping those ports to a larger size to try to get better flow, that is probably a bad idea.
For future consideration, you may also consider using a hydraulic pump mounted to your PTO, or a front mount pump that runs off your crank pulley. Both will run faster than the internal pump, and allow you to still use your 3 pt. hitch.

George, Thanks for the information. I don't plan on really using the loader for much work, it is mostly a toy. Would you happen to know what the thread size is for those test ports?

Craig, I'm pretty much maxed-out in my expertise in this area, however, I saved an old thread that talks about the test port threads. This post is from the N Board, but my guess is ,it is the exact same thing on your Fergy.

There is a test port on the bottom cover plate of your internal pump also (under your right foot). My Fergy has an old elbow & valve threaded into that port when I got it. I assumed it used to be used to run a loader at some point.

George,

Thanks for the link. I tried to take out the allen head plugs under the seat but did not succeed. Those plugs are frozen and I started to round out the allen head trying to get more leverage. I will tap into the bottom port on the pump.
Thanks!
