about a dearborn loader

[Anonymous-0]

I am trying to ressurect this old dearborn (I think) loader, It had used the tube frame for a reservior but now that is not an easy option. I am thinking of mounting a remote tank as one viable option. Anybody have an idea of how many gallons is minimun for this loader? Any other ideas?

One "rule of thumb" commonly quoted for simple hydraulic system reservoirs is the tank should have twice the capacity (in gallons) as the pump produces in gallons per minute.

Any idea of what the GPM's of the pump are?

Did that years ago on my 841, with a very heavy duty loader. We used a 4 gal. tank and have never had any problems with it. Got the tank from northern hyds. My 8N with back hoe which uses the same type of pump still uses the frame as a tank so I know either way they work well

Not for sure but the number 4gpm comes to mind for some reason, I am also wondering about cooling the fluid, any thoughts on that?

you won't need that tank 3 gallon you full 11 gallon per minute will power 18-9 dearborn loader type, dont over fill it hurt when you get spray with hot oil. keep the vent hole clean, you be surpise where it at too... it at eye level...

There are two numbers commonly quoted. One is Bob's 2:1 ratio. I belive that rule of thumb is for severe usage conditions like found in a heavy duty hydrostatic drive or hydraulic motor. The other rule of thumb is 1:1 and is more typical of tractor hydraulics.

Hey, send me an email and I will send you some pictures of my 9N with dearborn loader that I modified with bigger bucket, tilt cylinders on the bucket. Also put a reservoir on the front and didn't use the pipe reservoir. I think you will like!

The loader frame/tank would have helped cool it.

I think the suggested "twice the GPM reservoir" is mainly to aid in cooling... having some extra tank surface area exposed to the air, for cooling.

If you use a tank in the 2+ gallon range, you'll be OK, with this little pump.

I saw your offer in an old post. I have a Dearborn loader, 19-8, on a 1949 8N and would like to add cylinders on the bucket. I replaced the single acting lift cylinders and spool valve years ago with Northern Hydraulics double acting cylinders and a Prince two spool valve. I used a two spool valve in anticipation of having a bucket cylinder but never did it. Any pictures or instructions would be a great help.
