Add a loader?

ted regentin · Nov 3, 2011

I have an old 445 Moline that I inherited when my brother passed away. I only use it to work up my garden and move snow once in a while. I came across a loader for sale from an IH 414. Has anyone ever fitted a loader under such circumstances? It would be for light, occasional use only. I have welders, oxy, cut off saw.Your opinions???

Basicall if you have the fab skills you can fit it to any tractor that is about the same size.

If you got the skills and the"want to",then you got a loader on a tractor.Good luck!Steve

The first welding job I did was a B-275 tractor and an old pipeframe loader off a 9N Ford. I used that outfit from 1964 to 1976. If I can do it anybody can!

I don't know if the loader/tractor is evenly matched to each other, size wise, but you can probably make it work if they are. I modified a loader from a WD-45 to fit a 630 John Deere. I parked the tractor on concrete, and blocked the loader frame to where I liked it, then connected the tractor and loader frame with the necessary homemade mounts. It worked good and I used it for many years.

Watch out how big a loader. Too big and power steering becomes a must.
