I am trying to get some info about getting and installing a front end loader for my 1976, 3600 ford tractor. Is it possible to attach a loader with the existing hydraulic setup? And where would I be able to purchase a used attachment? Thanks for anyone's input. Pat

You likely know all this, but unlike rear attachments that are universal (within size categories), with rare exceptions a FEL must be specific to the tractor. Even if you found one, they're not easy to transport and install. The plumbing can be overcome but the pump will be strained if it has little reserve capacity. If the Ford is 2WD, expect traction problems.

It's a useful attachment, but unless everything falls to hand, you might be better replacing the Ford with a 4WD that has one on. ....
