Ford 730 Loader and a 345D

Mdensley · Mar 14, 2022

Can you put a older Ford 730 Loader on a Ford/New Holland 345D? I know there is a good deal of age gap there but I would like to have 4wd on my Logging tractor. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Michael

Would take a lot of work to the front mount to fit it on, a loader off something like a 340 that has the heavy bolster on it or even the 772 loader off a 4000 would be a lot less work

If you have a 345D without a loader, I would suggest a phone search of tractor salvage yards, looking for a loader from 345 or 445, A, C, or D models. It would be a strong loader and bolt on fit.

Thank You. I appreciate the input. I am sure you are right. I have the 730 and was just being lazy. I agree that is a good way to go. Thanks,

For using a 345D for logging, look at building a skid plate to protect the oil filter for the rear axle and 3 point hydraulics, under the left floor board. It's mounted on a fragile and expensive cast mount.
