I have a loader on a 240U which is the predecessor to the 404 and very similar. The steering on these is a little weak, but as long as it's not overloaded or used a lot, it should be okay. My steering had been rebuilt before I got it and it needed it when I bought it, but I found used parts. I would not want one without power steering... mine has a CharLynn unit and it robs enough flow from the live pump that I lose my 3 point below about 1/3 throttle. The factory PS on a 404 is different than on a 240u as it has cylinders on the steering arm, where the 240U factory is a torque generator which functions like the CharLynn. This 404 system would take a lot of load off the weak steering sector.
My loader is on a crankshaft driven pump. Loader is a Wagner-IH 120 which has the reservoir in the loader frame. It is capable of lifting more than I want to lift.... it will pick the back wheels off the ground.

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.
