Front-End Loader Old FEL Questions

Tayook · Jan 7, 2010

Found this on Ebay.
Dual front end loader, tractor loader bucket Hydraulics - eBay (item 160391684521 end time Jan-09-10 14:46:52 PST)

It is only a few hours from me. What questions should I ask about it? Is it reasonable to buy a loader THEN get a tractor. I do not know anything about how universal these things are.

Is it a positive or negative that the PTO runs the hydro?

We have been looking at this tractor for a while now.
1955 INTERNATIONAL 300 40 HP to 99 HP For Sale At TractorHouse.com

We were hesitant to get it because it did not have a loader. What do I need to ask to find out if the above tractor will fit the loader off Ebay?

just about anything can be 'made' to fit with a gas axe, and buzzbox.. personally I'd get my tractor first.. then research it and see what are common loaders for that model.. vs buying a loader.. then getting a tractor.. then trying to cobble it together.

if you are looking at older machines and implements.. might I suggest a forum that deals more with older stuff, vs newer stuff.. like ytmag.. etc.
