[AT] 8N + loader value

[Paul Waugh]

It makes a person wonder.  Ours is a 53, round tube loader with front driven 
pump. I believe it came from factory this way, for no lights, not even a 
light switch. Our reverse is close to 1 st gear. We picked up some 1042 lb. 
batteries with each, that seems to be about max because very light on back 
even with bush hog on it.  Great small tractor and loader also has tip 
bucket. We gave $3000 for it and several implements. Also very straight 
original tractor.

Dave,

I believe that is a Wagner loader.  It would have a it's own pump that 
drives with a shaft from the front crank shaft pulley, so that gives the 
loader live hydraulic.  If it is like the one I have, it has a cylinder for 
bucket dump or(or blade tilt if dozer blade is on).  Mine is a 1952 (side 
distributor).

I will caution you that if it was set up new with this loader as a 
contractor model from Ford it will have a reverse direction set of fan 
blades and will push air out through the radiator rather than draw it in, 
similar to heavy equipment.  It will also have high gear ratios.  Quite fast 
but short on power.  With mine, reverse is about equal to third gear for 
speed.  I believe this was designed for landscaping and light grading to get 
a lot of work done in a short time.

In our area of New York, I will say this tractor would easily bring $3500 
based on your description.
