The loader mounts against the axle. First measurement is from the front of the axle to the front of your tractor/radiator housing. Then measure the 2001 frame from the mount to the inside of the front cross brace. If the loader is a little long, then probably not much of a problem. If loader is short, then you may need some type of extension plate on the loader at the axle and longer bolts. I think the front cross brace on my 3000 loader is just an inch or so from the front of the tractor. Saw a picture posted here a while back of a cross brace that stuck out a foot on a short 4 cylinder tractor. (stick out too far and that affects the equilibrium not allowing you to pick up as much without extra weight on back)
Then double check the front supports that bolt to the tractor frame. You may or may not have to do some modification/fabrication or drill new holes to mount them.
The 6 cylinder tractors and some farmalls are longer wheelbased than say your 4 cylinder tractors which is where some modifications come in depending upon what the loader was built for.
Just remember that when doing any modification, all the force is going to be pushing up against the axle with those mounting bolts and down on the front brackets when you pick up something with the loader.
Finally check the specs on the loader to make sure it will pick up what you want. Many loaders won't handle a 1500# bale but I suspect the 2001 is stout enough to do so. Some loader hydraulic circuits, like my IH3000, want you to replace the regular 1600# relief valve with a 2000# one to handle the rated loader loads. They guy with the manual can tell you this.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
