In Reply to: Loader on a B posted by F-Dean on January 13, 2009 at 19:48:53:
Today's small tractors are designed for loader work. The B was designed exclusively to pull heavy loads. The heaviest thing a B was designed to have on the front was a set of cultivators. A B's front end is very weak.
I think the B loader on YouTube is a custom fabrication. As I recall it had a hydraulic bucket. Anything made during the B's time would've had a mechanical trip dump bucket. One hydraulic control was a luxury back then; two would've been seen as ludicrous.
Pretty much any loader that will fit around the B's hood could be made to work with enough scrap metal, a welder, and a torch. You would want to build a subframe that ties the tractor's front bolster and rear axle housings together, then mount the loader to that so that any stresses are placed directly on the front pedestal or the rear axle housings, rather than on the engine block.
Bs do not have hydraulics, unless you lucked out and got one that had its engine block replaced with one from a Super A or C. You would have to jerry-rig a power steering pump to belt drive off the crankshaft to get "live" power. However the loader response will be slow. Another option is a PTO pump, which will provide more flow, but will stop every time you push the clutch. Either way you need to mount a small tank with hydraulic fluid somewhere on the tractor.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
