All,

I am thinking of putting a front loader on my Fordson Power Major. What type of loader do I need? Do I need a pump for the loader? If I get a loader where do I run the lines? Thanks for all the help.

I have the same need for a front end loader (FEL). I have asked around as to how to put one on my '62 Super Major, and the answers vary. You will need some kind of frameork for it, and that probably means struts run forward from mounts under the rear axle. Look at other tractors wiwh FELs on them and it will give you an idea of what will be needed. Fordson as I understand it used to make a kit for this attachment, but it isn't available any longer. Yes, you will need a hydraulic pump, lines and valves; they will probably be attached to the left side. The addition of power steering will also be desirable since a loaded FEL will be difficult to steer without it. I believe there are photos of Fordson FEL units on the gallery pages of this website. It will be interesting to see how others reply to your posting.

Woolman, Thanks for comments, I will find a loader and attached it to this tractor. I almost had one over the weekend. Did mange to get a 6' bushhog for the old major.
