2000 loader

I found a IH 2000 loader in good shape. Any possibility that it will fit on my 300 Farmall? Or would it be too large?
 
I have one on my 350 and it works fine.

What is/was the loader installed on before?

If it was a Farmall with a full frame, there's a pretty good chance it will bolt right on with some spacers.

If it came off a utility tractor, then you will be cutting and welding.
 
Anybody got a 2000 loader that they want to sell? I am interested, my email is open or just post on this website. Thanks, Hugh (318) 465-0797
 
With 2-way hydraulics, the oil doing the lifting is replaced by the oil displaced from the other end of the cylinder. Flow is reversed when going down. So, you always have the same quantity of oil in the reservoir at all times.
A small reservoir will let the oil get hotter if used a lot.
 
I like your seat better than mine Brandon. Also id like to add a wide front. All in all love my 300. Its my favorite out of the bunch.

That's actually a pic of my 300 . I officially changed my handle today. Sold the JD G so didn't feel like I should use bigboreG as my name any longer. Tired of the two bangers and my interest has switched to red. Its been a long time coming! Im sure I will get beat up from some folks but oh well.
 
It's actually not quite that simple - the 460 and
300/350 have different front bolsters and this is
what the loader brackets bolt to. My 2000 also came
off of a 460 and the brackets were not usable on my
350. Re-drilling new holes in the brackets to fit
the 350 pattern would not have worked either since
there would not have been much left. I ended up
making new ones.
 
Two-way cylinders consume the volume of oil displaced by the rod so the reservoir level does drop when they extend. On my 350 if the reservoir is right up to the plug when the loader is on the ground it is quite low when the boom is up all the way and the bucket dumped. The four cylinders combined will consume close to a gallon going from fully retracted to fully extended. I like to top off the reservoir with the boom three or four feet up just to be on the safe side. The breather is up fairly high so it can stand to be a little over the fill plug and not blow it out.
 
That canvas seat fabric used to be nice bright gray but it has gotten a little dingy looking. I guess that is what happens to a "working tractor". It is comfortable, though.
 
That's a lot of good info. I will keep that in mind. I like the way the 2000 loader looks on the 300 - 400 series and the 50s also. Yours is sure a nice looking outfit.
 
(quoted from post at 13:53:56 04/29/14) Ok thanks for that info. 460 having a longer frame being the reason for the spacer?

No, it's because the 460 frame is WIDER, by 2".

Hmm, that's interesting because the brackets that are shown in my owner's manual have slotted holes and different ways to put them together to fit various tractors.
 
A 2000 loader off of a F-460 has different front mounting brackets than what is used on a F-300.The sub-frame rear axle mountings are somewhat similar, but different enough that they may require modifying. Plus, the sub-frame from a F-460 may be longer so it would need shortening. Swapping loader from one type tractor to a different type is rarely a take-it-off, bolt-it-on deal. Some modifying will be necessary to make it fit properly.
 
Having removed a 2000 from a F-460 and installing it on a F-350 I know for sure that only the front brackets need to be different. The rear mountings are a direct fit; from what I could tell the axle is the same between the two tractors. Also, after installation there is only six inches between the 350's nose and the loader crossmember so even though the frame could be shortened a bit it would not be worth the effort involved.
