front end loader

[ron,ar]

I am looking for a front end loader for a 8N. A Dearborn loader to be exact. It does not have to have cylinders or even the upper section. I need the lower half that is attached to the tractor, the part that holds the fluid. I really am looking for one in the central or southern part of the US. Thanks

If you dont find anything, come look at the one I have. It may work. I have no idea.

Ron,

I have a front end loader I'd be willing to sell. Complete. I believe it is a Dearborn (been a while since I looked at it). Will confirm shortly when there is a bit more light outdoors. I about as close to the middle of Iowa as one can get.

Want to send me your e-mail address to [email protected]?

Ron,

My loader is indeed a Dearborn. Model 19-59, serial 1070. Ready to mount on an 8N and go to work. It is in good shape but, be aware that the bucket has been expanded to about six feet in width. The original bucket is entact and the expanded portion could be easily be removed with a torch.

I have photos which I can e-mail if you're interested.

Ron,

If Stokka's loader doesn't work out, I have a Dearborn loader with manure bucket I'd let go cheap. Hoses are rotted, so would need replacement. I pulled it out of a scrap pile in a pasture, and decided not to install on my 8N - don't know the workin' condition... presume it does, though - cylinders are still shiney and fluid drips out of the busted hoses.

Is the loader still available in Central Iowa? I am planning on getting an *N in te next few days and need a loader.

A newbie question: Is this a two way loader? Is it possible to put a loader with dual hydraulics on an 8N?

A newbie answer: what do you mean by "dual hydraulics"? Do you mean that the lift cylinders are powered in both directions, or that the bucket is hydraulically tilted too, or what?

My Davis loader has one-way lift cylinders (i.e., no down-force, only up-force, gravity brings it down), but a two-way cylinder to curl the bucket. Some N loaders use mechanical trip buckets, I believe.

I really meant for controlling the bucket. Obviously both would be nice. I have never been clear on kind of hydraulics a tractor need to control the bucket or put downward pressure on the lift. So I guess this is what I would like to know. How do you know when looking at a tractor if it will be able to accomplish more than just lift?

I'm no expert (but if my answer is wrong I'm sure one will come along to correct me), but my take is that if the cylinder has two hoses attached to it, then it's double-acting, i.e., pressure can be applied on either side of the hydraulic piston so it can both push and pull. The lift cylinders on my loader on the 2N have only a single hose and sure enough, they can't lift up the front of the tractor in the "down" direction, unlike the loader on my Deere, which has two hoses to each cylinder, and unlike the 2N loader's bucket curl, which has two hoses.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
