Farmall Gas 350 Row crop/loader tractor

I've always liked the 40's&50's era rowcrop tractors and am considering getting rid on my JD5103 and build a 57-350 row crop into a loader tractor. The one I'm looking at is a 57 350 gas with power steering and 2 point fast hitch. It does have the single front wheel which is not great,I know, but I grew up with a 40's JD A with a trip bucket loader and tricycle front end and never tipped it over. However I suspect I'll find a wide front to put under it.

The questions are:

What capacity loader can it handle? I'd like to put my JD 512 loader on it. Of course I'll repaint it IH2150:)

What are the flow rates and pressure of the Farmall 350's hydraulic system.
Will it handle the 512 loader?
 
I doubt it will handle a 512. The hydraulics on the the 350 are OK - for the 1950s, but the 350 doesn't have much lift capacity compared to modern tractors and it has a very small reservor. The 512 has what appears to be 4" cylinders with only 2250 PSI (when they were new 50+ years ago) I doubt the 350 will handle much of a load. The newer John Deeres the 512 goes on has a higher flow rate and 500 psi more pressure in their hydraulic system.
 
If the john Deer is set up with 3.5 or larger cylinders the Loader will lift all you need to lift with a 350.
Unless the lift cylinders are set to have a short stroke, If they are 36 inch stroke they will be fine.
two 3inch 40 inch cylinders on a Farmall H can lift 1000# with a 800 PSI belly pump. Jim
 
The big question as always is just what are you planning on lifting how high and how far it all makes a big difference.
 
JD 512 loader is rated for about 2500 pounds. I have a 6' bucket, pallet forks, and a hay spear for it. Most of the round bales are on the small side, I would guess 1000lbs. I maintain about 25,000 sq. ft. of crushed conrete driveway and parking lot so I use the bucket to move the crushed concrete after it's delivered and to spread it. I palletize any thing I can so I don't have to lift any more that I have to. Most of these pallets are light. The JD5103 is a 06 model with 198 hours. I don't use it alot.
