ford 4000 loader

[georgia plow boy]

I found a loader that came off a ford 4000 tractor, the guy says there is a small hole in the pump housing that can be welded also he took it off tractor 6 yrs ago , its for sale for $500 I haven't looked at it yet and don't know any thing about a loader. I have a 3600 ford will it fit on my tractor and is it worth the price Or should I just spring for a new one and have it installed thanks. for any help

Hi there, How do you mean pump housing, does this loader have its own hydraulic source? As for the mounting on a 3600, they have the different front end(2000,3000)style but are much the same around the bellhousing of the tractor,can be modified to fit,but a bit of stuffing around,may not be too bad a price at $500,perhaps you could just run it off the 3600's pump and be done with it...

Was it on a 4 cyl 4000? If so that's a quite different creature than the 3 cyl models.. still with a torch and welder.. almost any frame swap is possible.

post more details on the 'hole in the pump'...
