I was hoping that some of you IH experts could take a few minutes and look at the pictures I posted of this old IH HayLoader. I am wondering if anyone knows a model number, or also if thier is any tin work missing?? Thanks for the help.

i did some more reading and googled keystone hayloader after my reply. ih bought keystone in 1905, from an illinois website. so it must have been after that. wendel's book says ih made a wood frame keystone style loader through 1914, and a double cylinder-wood frame model through 1920. the picture doesn't show the angled top end like your picture and my loader have, so i don't know if that was an option or a later style. when i got the hayloader a couple years ago, google linked me to a website from (i think) penn state that had some info on keystone hayloaders. that link didn't come up this time. so i'd say the teens or 20s would be a reasonable guess as to the age.

i just read my reply again, and ih didn't really buy keystone from a website, even though ih was quite advanced for the time. the info came from a website. you probably guessed that.

Thanks, for the insight. Do you have a guess on a year the hayloader was made?? I agree that it doesn't look like this hay loader would get alot of hay loaded. This one has the IH symbol on the hubs of the wheels.

that looks like my keystone-style rope and slat hayloader. mine says mccormick on the side and was stored in a barn all its life. it still shows some blue paint on the pickup, probably because it didn't work very well and never got much use. ih bought keystone sometime between 1901 and 1905, although keystone was making hay loaders since 1872, according to wendel's "150 years of international harvester". the same hayloader might say international, mccormick or maybe keystone, depending on the dealer it was shipped to. a neighbor who used this style hayloader when he was a boy, said they spent more time fixing slats and unwrapping hay on the machine than they spent actually loading hay. i cant see how very much hay could be carried on the rope and slat arrangement without sifting down onto the ground. hth.
