Ford 8N with Dearborn Loader

[Knuckle47]

My 1947 8N has a Jungle Jim Dearborn loader with a trip bucket. While I have developed a “skill” for a minor controlled drop, I see many using a hydraulic cylinder to change the pitch of the dump bucket.

has someone done this modification and have a “parts list” available.m seems simple enough but hydraulics is not my thing.

thanks in advance

Do you know the model of your loader? If the manufacturer's tag is still on it, it should show the model number to prefix with 19-. Ford Dearborn did sell a kit to add bucket control but I doubt that the kits are still available. I do have the instructions that came with the kit and can share them if you think it would be helpful to you.
