The loader had to have its own reservoir because the donor tractor had no factory hydraulics. Use that reservoir. Doing it this way completely divorces both hydraulic systems on the new tractor. That is not a bad thing.
I am afraid that I am missing something here because this solution seems so obvious and shouldn't be a source of confusion.
Provided that all four cylinders on the loader are double acting (two ports per cylinder) you could run both systems from the W-400 reservoir. Near the bottom left side of the W-400 reservoir is a drain plug. Put a Tee there and pipe both supply and return into it. Size the tee to be the same size as the supply port on front pump. Supply hose goes to pump. Return hose goes to reservoir port on fender valve.
That drain plug port is only 3/8" but that will be big enough because the only flow through the port will be the displacement volume of the chrome piston rods when they sre moving.
I made an error on a previous post. The W-400 CAN accomodate three valves. You could run the loader functions and the rear remote with only the IH hydraulics. That means you will have to buy a bunch of salvage parts.
When you get to the point where you want power steering, you will be going to the salvage yard. That might be a good time to price out the parts you will need to convert everything to IH if that is something you want to do later. IH power steering can't use the existing valves that are attached to the cast manifold above the reservoir. The PS valves look similar but are different.
I'd like to see a picture of the front mounted pump driveshaft and crankshaft coupling. I'm in the process of mounting a front pump on my W-400.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
