JD loader on International 354?

[bcauthen]

Will this work (JD loader on International 354)? Not sure of model of JD loader. Tractor it came off of is 1978 model 2140. International is a 1972 or 1973 354.

With enough welding rod, just about anything can be made to work. It is very unlikely though, that you could just bolt the JD loader to that tractor. Loaders tend to be very tractor specific and each will have it's own unique mounting system /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Does your 354 have power streering? We have one that doesn't and it's a pain to steer sometimes even without a loader, I couldn't imagine trying to do it with a couple hundred pounds extra up there.

Yes, it does have PS. However, it currenty has no hydraulic remote hookups, but from what I understand, that's not too hard to add.

Thanks for the replies.

I have a 354. I think they are great small farm tractors for the money. I've heard the steering described as "power assist". There are two ways of getting remotes on Internationals with that style hydraulics. It depends if you want to be able to use the three point hitch while the remotes are in use. I have an I&T shop manul and a parts book if I can look anything up for you.

Thanks for everyone's advice. We'll probably look for an International loader or something a little closer to the size of the 354.
