I just bought a basket case loader for a Ford 9N. It looks to be mostly complete except for hoses, so I was trying to figure out the hose routing.
It looks like a Freeman 2000 trip bucket loader but I have yet to find a tag. It has rectangular tubing, two single action cylinders, "in front of the engine" mounted pump and an external fluid storage tank mounted on the upright just in front of the driver's foot.
The control valve is made by Wagner, it has two valves/handles and two hose connections on the top that I assume are outlets, one connection on the bottom.
The fluid resevoir has an obviously low pressure suction connection on the bottom that hooks to the low pressure side of the pump, and I'm guessing the high pressure side of the pump hooks to that connection on the bottom of the valve body.
My question is do those two outlets hook one to each cylinder, or one to both cylinders and the other one to the return on the resevoir? If they hook one to each cylinder, where do I get the return?
It is also missing the adapter to hook the pump to the engine (shaft is there, but the pulley/adapter for the pully is not) so if anyone knows where I might buy one that would be a great help.
Thanks for the great site!
