front loader for 1964 Ford 2000

[mytruc]

Our tractor has been an orchard tractor all its life and does not have a front loader bucket. We want to put one on it but have no real idea where to look for such. any suggestions. We are in Western new York state. The nearest city is Rochester.

Check craigslist. Any loader taken off a
Jubilee/NAA, 600, 601, 800, 801, or 4-
cylinder 2000 or 4000 will be a direct
fit.

I don't know all that are available. I had a 4000 of that year that was very similar to my '63 2000, just drivetrain parts were just a bit larger and it had the
tube type FEL whereby the hydraulic fluid for the loader was stored inside the piping of the loader and it was driven off the front end of the engine's
crankshaft....with supports up front and some back on the rear axle housing.

The thing was very heavy on the front axle to the point where the axle on that tractor had been broken and welded back together due to the FEL loading.
Additionally the thing had no power steering and was very front end heavy. I couldn't wait to be rid of it.

mytruc,

I have a 727 Ford loader that I removed from our '64 2000.

Loader is in good shape and has been stored inside for years.

I can pictures if you are interested.
