No the w6 never had a belly pump . Another alternative for live hydraulics is to run a pump off of the front of the engine through the hand crank hole in front casting .I purchased a w6 and a w9 with this set up . they both had F-10 Farmhand loaders on them. it takes a little effort but it can be done. Kind of spendy . they both used a love-joy coupler on the crankshaft using a longer pin through the crankshaft. After measuring the length of shaft needed they used a weld a hub center and welded it to the shaft. They then used a 1/2 inch plate cut to fit what ever pump they had. drilled holes to line up with the casting on front of tractor . Used longer bolts with double nuts to adjust depth and alignment of shaft and pump. This actually works well . The previous owner of the w9 told me the loader was on it since shortly after it was new . I checked the service meter (hourmeter) on this tractor and it had 11024 hours on it when he parked it.
