It depends on how the tractor is currently configured. Post a picture of the front of the hydraulic top cover area, basically the area you would see if you sit on the tractor and look straight down between your knees. Take a couple of pictures of that are from a couple of different angles if you can. Once we see what it's got currently, then we can make educated suggestions on how best to accomplish what you want to do.
If it already has a remote valve or a power beyond plate or some other add-on, then it's possible to use at least part of what's already there. If it just has the stock 3x5 plate then the easiest way would probably be to just add a power beyond plate below the stock 3x5 plate.

Okay thanks! I will not be home tell 9-13-13 as I am a OTR truck driver. I will post pic when I get home but I will tell you it has two remotes at the back. The leavers are under the seat to the right. I am the 2nd owner but the 1st passed away before I could get info on the Tractor.

If you don't plan to use the remotes for anything else, you can use one of them for the loader. If one of the remote levers has a detent position that allows it to stay open, then that's the one to use. If not, you can just use a bungee cord to hold one of them open.
