In Reply to: What loader is the best one for 400 Inernational tractor? posted by Brian from Kansas on March 29, 2008 at 20:23:17:

I have a Fordson Dexta, with a Freeman Loader. I bought the tractor and loader seprate 8 years ago. The loader I bought from another farmer, that was upstairs in his barn for over 20 years. The loader was equiped with a trip bucket as well. I revoved all the trip bucket parts. I Put a 14" by 2 1/2 hydraulic cylinder mounted in the middle under the top cross member, and removed the lower cross member. I ran two hydraulic lines the length of the right loader arm. Installed a two spool valve, on the rear of the right loader bracket, with 2 quick couplers for the bucket. One side single acting spool to run the loader, and the other side a dual acting spool to run the bucket. I then ran 2 hydraulis lines from the valve to the back of the tractor. I also put quick couplers on the loader cylinders, to dicconnect the hydraulic lines, so when I remove the loader, I can leave the loader cylinders on the loader. I built 2 hangers out of flat steel, to hang them up where the loader attatches to the loader mounts.
Built a quicktatch plate, to change buckets. Have a 5' material bucket, 4' tine bucket for solid manure, and a forklift bucket for skids.
Cheaper to do it this way then to buy a whole diffrent loader. I went and looked at a few used loaders for $700.00 to $1000.00 Fixed mine up this way for under $700.00. Only thing I don't have is down preasure. I don't have any problems digging in the ground with it. Just have to tip your bucket back a foot or two where you want to dig, and rool your bucket back as you drive ahead.
Hope this helps.
Bruce
