What is the name of loader on your A? Or did you make it?

Brian2 · Dec 21, 2008

I want to say Hendricson, not sure if that is right or not. I will take some additional pictures. Its pretty simple in design, trip type bucket. As I have said before, they wreck the steering, as Hugh would say, these are not designed for loaders.

Nice looking set up! Will the tractor push a lot of snow? I have a Super-C for pushing that white stuff with a 7ft blade. I can push banks as high or higher than the tractor. Wish I had a cab. Love them Farmalls.

Stay warm! Nice pictures

Thanks! Same deal as your C in regards being able to push snow up to snow banks. IF the snow is real sticky and deep I sometime have to raise the blade and make 2 passes, but it does take alot to stop it. I have no weights on the back currently, I'm sure that would make a big difference, I might even be able to take the chains off?

PS. PLEASE LET IT SNOW EVERY DAY !!!!
ok...maybe not every day.

Very nice, looks like a fun tractor to push snow with. I clear snow with my 1943 Farmall H and IH #30 loader.

It's a Henderson loader. Mine still has the ID plate on it in spite of PO strengthening it up some. I have my snow blade mounted on the loader (also on a SA).

Just plowed 6 inches of new snow here this afternoon in Southern UP of MI.

Note on chains: They make the difference between plowing and just spinning. I added extra cross chains every other link on the side chains many years ago. Otherwise the cross chains just settled between the lugs on the tires & didn't do much of anything.

Tom,
Thanks for the clarification. Just a comment on design considerations on the plow. When I first thought about putting this plow on I got some great feedback from others on this forum, and used knowledge from my Grandfathers unfortunate experience. The main concern was the weight of the plow, and the stresses created on the torque tube of the tractor. The Torque tube should be viewed as a weak spot on this tractor for this type of work. The tractor was intended as a cultivator, or a tractor for pulling. Any large loads should be connected, or transferred to the draw bar on the rear. It is possible that hitting something ( like a curb or other) could break the tractor in half at the torque tube. On my set up, I to design the mounts so that the "pushing" is done on the draw bar which is reversed. The mounts on the front by the steering box are intended to hold the load up. There is a lot of inertia when moving along.
Just my 2 cents, as always, it depends on who is driving the tractor and how loving they treat it.
