[Farmall] IH 2000 loader vs 2001 loader

[Mike Sloane]

Everything that Greg Hass wrote about the loaders is generally true. IH 
provided "installation kits" for different tractors. I am in the middle 
of trying to install a 2001 loader that was "farmer modified" to mount 
on a Farmall 340. While it looks like it would fit, my 340 doesn't have 
power steering, and the mounting plates interfere with the radiator side 
panels. So I am going to cut the ugly welded mounting plates off the 
loader frame and work up something to mount the loader on my 560. Some 
of my efforts to date can be seen at:

The only comment I would make is that it is possible to mount a wider 
bucket on a 2001 or 1701 loader, as I had a 6' bucket on a 1701 that I 
had on a 706, and it worked very well. I really don't think that it 
makes any functional difference whether you have a 2000 or 2001, except 
that the mounting for the single cylinder seems to take more of a 
beating than if the load is spread out between two mounts.

I would say that the biggest problem will be fabricating new mounting 
plates and having only limited hydraulics from the H/M. I suspect that 
they will be slow and not able to lift the rated 2000 lbs.
