I have an 81 year model 650 John Deere and had an IH Cub Lowboy loader that was adapted to it and used for about 12 years until I bought a TLB unit. It was very simple to do. I just made a couple of brackets to fasten the loader frame onto the tractor right at the clutch housing and then a couple more brackets to attach it to the weight carrier on the front of the frame where you put the suitcase type weights. I tapped into the tractor hydraulics on the front side of the lift unit where the hex shaped plugs are and you have to install a plug internally to get power there and the oil return was piped to the hex plug on the left side of the transmission about half way down the case. It was very mean to steer with a loaded bucket. One thing that helped was to replace the rib type front tires with automotive tires that had flat tread and I eventually installed turf type tires on the back because the ag bar type tires would dig a hole if they ever spun but the turf type tires did not do that as bad nor do these type tires mess up the grass when mowing and turning around.
I finally added the John Deere field install power steering kit on mine. The power steering hooks into the hydraulics of the tractor the same way. If you can find a schematic of the power steering oil flow and it will guide you. I just sold the power steering kit I removed from my 650 this past week. I had taken it off because with my 5' flail mower on the back of the tractor the front end was so light with the power steering you had no feel of where you were going so I removed it. The 650 is one tough little machine. Gene Davis Tennille, Ga.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. 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.
