AC460 loader

The nice thing I like about this loader is it has its own pump. So it doesn’t use the hydraulics of the tractor. Also looking for a quick attach to fit the loader for my other skid loader attachments.

Worksaver in Litchfield Illinois makes several adapters for lots of applications. Look at their website or give them a call at (217) 324-5973 and ask for Kevin, products made locally and great folks to work with. They also make attachments for loader tractors and skid steers.

Just finished modifying a new old stock Farmhand quick attach and bucket for the One-Seventy with a 500 loader.  Here are some "in process" photos.

More pictures of that 170 please. It looks flawless.

Why did they think to put the cylinders under the frame was a good idea - so many were bent loading gravel etc,,

So I am guessing at this point. This loader could be either fluid fed by the tractor hydraulics or by the pump which makes it self sufficient. So it appears the pump and hydraulic controls were a option? Any you guys out there that were dealers that may remember?

Crank driven pump and valve could be options, some tractors would have had hydraulics and remotes which could run a loader(some did but were slow, so front pump and valve were improvements).  Yes, you should be able to use a hose to return the oil from the valve to the reservoir.  I would increase the hose size (fitting size would stay the same) one step for the longer run, definitely don't down size it.  If it is 1" hose with 3/4" NPT fittings now (as it appears it might be in your pictures) that should be ok.  I would use at least a one wire reinforced hydraulic hose and try to find a routing across the tractor, not under it.  You may need a couple proper swivel adapters to connect it to the reservoir port and the valve.  Just my thoughts.

Yes, the self contain loader was a option to free up the remotes or in my case with only having one remote. Local Agco dealer pulled it up in Agco books. Oddly no separate manual could be found.

On my 500 loader, there is a tie bar across the bottom that ties the bottom of the upright frames together.  Perhaps you could route the return hose there along with the pressure hoses for the left side cylinders.

Ordered a ATI quick attach for my loader. Looking at for a bucket for it. Looked at a low profile 66” skid steer bucket for it. Factory options were a 48 manure bucket, 60” and 80” material bucket. Measuring the tractor it seams to be a good fit.
