Most of those Fergie's ,fords and the lighter tractors like that didn't have the front axles to carry a loader let alone the weight you would put in the bucket. Spindles were not that heavy nor the axles. And most of them were just the block bolted to the front end and the bell housing. Some of the loaders would fasten to the rear axles and on the front end supporting the loader at each end of the tractor instead of the middle which would strengthen the issue immensely. A 74 series IH with a 2050series loader would mount at the rear axle and on the front end so it would also have a heavier front axle and spindle better suited for a loader. They are a bit heavier tractor and in the 35-60 horse range with Live PTO ,hydraulics and, steering. Maybe not the best hydraulics volume wise but pressure wise was right in with the best of them at 2500PSI There were some options for more hydraulics for them that would put them right in the ball park. Another option that you would find good is the 3020 or 2030 has good hydraulics power steering and live PTO. Will not turn or be as nimble as the IH but a good tractor just the same. If you got into the 4000 ford it would improve the front axle and spindles a long ways over the 801and 861 models that are going to be suggested for your use. Money is going to be comparable with the model in usefulness. Along with the improvements.
