[AT] 8N + loader value

[CEE VILL]

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.
