Not practical. To run a loader and 3pt, you need a pretty decent hydraulic system. An A has no hydraulic system, and never had one as a factory option. You would need to upgrade to a Super A to get factory hydraulics.

There are two choices:
1. PTO-powered hydraulic pump and external reservoir, either built from new components, or in the form of an old Char-Lynn PTO unit(rare). The problem with this is that every time you push the clutch, you lose hydraulics because the PTO stops. The rear-mounted pump and reservoir will also interfere with a 3pt hitch setup.
2. Cobble an old power steering pump on to be driven off the engine via a belt. The problem with this is the pump will be low-volume so the loader and 3pt will be slooooooooooooow. The pump will stick out and interfere with the loader. Plus, it will almost certainly be problematic and unsightly unless you're a darned good fabricator.

In short, it can be done, but it just ain't practical.
