Trying to fit a Wagner WM4 front loader on a 2N (1942 I suspect) After discovering I would not have to cut the loader and weld it back together if I mounted the rear brackets on TOP of the rear axle things started to look better.But up front is another matter. The holes on the loader do not match anything on the tractor. I have no shaft for the pump, and the adapter fixture does not line up with any holes on the loader or the tractor. And of course I will need to replace the pully with the hand crank ratchet groves on it. So according to another post, I remove the hood, drain coolant, and disconect radius arm and steering link on one side, then after removing 6 bolts on the front of the engine I can swing the front end of the tractor away far enough to replace the pulley. After I pick the engine up off the ground because I forgot to block it. But, how do I remove the hood. I see the four bolts at the dash. Where else does it attach? And where do I get a new hood and grill? Mine is pretty sad. Also, looks like I remove radiator hoses. So I need new hoses, and the new crank pulley. Oh and supporting the front of the loader. I am in the process of fabricating a fixture that bolts to the 6 bolts on the front of the engine and bolts to the loader. Can anybody tell me what it's supposed to look like
