It was only the 1/1/1965-9/30/1969 2000 models that had the 4.3gpm pump, and after 10/1/1969 even the 2000's had the 5.3gpm pump. My 1973 S-O-S 4000 has the same 5.3gpm pump that the 3000's had, and I just added a loader to mine. It is slower than I would like it, and if I was going to be using it all day every day I would probably add a stinger pump, but it is fast enough to be acceptable for the amount of work I need to do with it. From full down to full up takes less than 15 seconds, and it's got enough power that it raises at the same speed whether the bucket is empty or full. Make sure that you have the flow control valve turned all the way in to get the fastest speed. [Reply]   [No Email]

I feel a lot better. One of the cylinders for the bucket on this old loader is seized. I've tried everything but nitroglycerin to get it to move. No luck. 10 ton heavy winch with three part 5/8" line with old four speed reducer tranmission. Front of truck tied to a big tree and the other end of the cylinder tied to a bigger tree. Nothing movining. Sure hate to buy a new cylinder but it's looking bad. Probably wouldn't be any good even if I did get it apart???? Zane [Reply]  [No Email]
