I have a '46 Ford 2N, wondering about a front bucket/loader for it. Any advice, sources, etc. greatly appreciated! Also thinking about a lift bar for the back (cow lifter?) for picking up logs, rocks, etc.

There is a company called Paulson that makes a loader for the N. (see link) I have one and I like it. It is smaller and therefore doesn't affect the steering as much. Some assembly required but it goes together fairly easily.

It is a little pricey - I ended up paying almost as much as my tractor costs, but the tractor is so much more useful - I also justify it by saying that it saved having to buy a snow blower.

Also the bucket is "trip" not hydraulic. And since it runs off the N hydraulics, the clutch must be engaged and the PTO running with the 3 pt. hitch chained up for it to work.

One other thing - Since you have a 2N which only has draft control, you would need a Zane Thang to get position control for any loader that uses the tractor hydraulics. Not applicable for loaders with their own pump.

HTH, Jon.

To paraphrase Dell, "N" tractors aint loader tractors, the front end just aint built for it. That said, it was required that any toy I bought had a loader. I just take it easy, so far, so good for me. I would check the classifieds here and in any kinda "thrifty-nickel" paper for your area. I would get one w/full hydralics.
Im thinking that a "lift bar" = boom pole. Many people here use one w/o problems. Depends on how good your 3-pt works. Can be had at your local Farm&Fleet/TSC. Somewhere around $65 if I recall.
If ya got a loader, do ya really need a boom pole?
HTH....don t. ....
