Any one running a Paulsen front end loader on 8n?

kevinw8n · Jan 18, 2015

Was wondering if anyone on here was running a Paulsen front end loader on a 8n or 9n. If yes and it wouldn't be to much trouble to snap me a couple pics of a certain area of the loader. Wanting pics of where the box beam mounts near the front by the oil pan. Thanks in advance if you can help

Had one on my 4000. Most on the ones for an 8n were trip buckets. Company was still in business a few years ago. I don't know about now? The one on my 4000 could be made to fit an 8n by switching The front bracket supplied by them.

Here's a link to the manual. I seem to remember that flat steel stock would work for a front bracket. Rear brackets wouldn't be necessary because there were different holes for use in different model tractors.

Looks like that one is built heavier than the ones for the 8n. As far as the front bracket I can build it. What I was wondering was where they mount the front bracket to. All of the pictures I have seen looks as if they mount it to the front of the oil pan. Why I ask is I am planning on building one for my 8n as I can't seem to find a used one anywhere. Seen a couple on tractor house but they was quite a ways from me and they wanted quite a bit for them.

Here is a link to one that;s on an 8n.

Yes I have seen the bracket and it's mounted to 4 of the 6 bolts on the front of the axle carrier. The bracket has two holes(one each side) that the frame bolts to. I believe they were 3/4" bolts. The box frame had a plate welded in the end and drill and tapped to accept the bolts. The plate would have to be at least 1/2" thick.
This is how I attach the 19-80 snowplow frame to my 8n. The loader bracket would be attached the same.

I wonder if a guy could contact the person with that tractor in the pictures? Would like a couple of pics of the rear subframe bracket. The ad brochure shows it but not enough.
