My first experience running a loader tractor of any kind was Dad's side distributer 8N with Dearborn pipe cage loader with trip bucket at right around the age of 11 or so. We at least had the front engine drive pump for the loader hydraulics so they were always live. While it was not the handiest of loaders by modern standards it sure beat the heck out of no loader at all. The steering was tough - the secret is you have to be moving.
Even with the tough steering as a young kid learning to cultivate soybeans with a rear mounted Dearborn cultivators I did much better on the 8N with the loader still on but bucket off for better visibility than the Case 430 with its hydrostatic power steering. I could drive the 8N by feel where that was nearly impossible on the 430 Case as it handled so easy you drove it by experience. I DID NOT have any experience yet so I was a trainwreck on the 430 Case with cultivators constantly plowing out rows where I was pretty darned good on the 8N for my age and never plowed out rows. So I preferred the 8N at that time even though it was harder to handle and Dad would use the 430 Case. We covered lots of acres cultivating working in tandem like that.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
