D14 with loader

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Just looking for some advice here. I found a d14 with an Allis 400 series loader for sale locally that interests me. I’m thinking it could be my full time loader tractor and I can finally remove the crappy New Idea loader from my d17. What’s everyone’s take on a d14 with a fully hydraulic loader? It has the front mounted pump which is a plus. No factory power steering but it has a Char-Lynn torque generator installed for the power steering, I have no experience with this setup. I mostly use my loader with pallet forks for loading and unloading things and the bucket for plowing snow.

	The 400 loader is one of AC's best loaders. However, without power steering, your arms will get tired pretty quick. If I did buy that 14, the first thing I would do is pull the front axle and rebuild the pivot assembly. Even without a loader, I have seen them get pretty worn after 60+ years. A heavy 400 loader definitely would not help either. Checking the wheel bearings, tie rods and spindle bushings would also be highly recommended. What are you planning to lift with it? The loader will probably handle it, but I would be more concerned about the tractor.
