On the wide front I would either stick with IH and every thing from Super series to 56 series will fit, the exception being 504 and of course lighter tractors. Just make sure ty-rods are behind axle. The other axle I am familiar with is Schwartz and you can still buy them new. There are other after market front ends, I am not familiar with. Some say IH is best others say Schwartz.

On the loader issue I am so far out of touch on that one, I wouldn't even venture a guess. I bought two skid steer loaders in early 1970s. At the time I had an IH 2000 loader on 560D, within two years 2000 loader was piled away in shed and ten years later I sold it. I know the IH loaders built in era of your tractors weren't much. I had a Wagner loader on 300 for a few years, good loader but awful heavy. I always say a Farmall is much too valuable on draft work to hang a banging, rattleing loader on front.

Loader work doesn't take a lot of hp, you just need engine on oposite end from loader and 4 wheels driving. I would think long and hard before investing the kind of money it would take to give you wide front, good loader, live hydraulics and power steering. It would go a long way on a good used Skid Steer. Just my opinion.
