1948 Farmall C with loader and 3 point hitch

I recently purchased a Farmall C with a loader and a 3 point hitch. I was wondering if anyone would know of a manufacturer that might have made the loader or the 3 point hitch. Neither have identifing marks so I am clueless and looking for help.

Thanks.

The loader looks similiar to the loader I have which is a Henderson or Hendrickson (someone will correct me). The company is still in business but doesn"t not make or support loaders for farm equipment anymore. Does your tractor have hydraulics? or does it work off a pto driven pump? If it has a pto driven pump, the pump is made by another company (Eaton owns them now), it also isn"t made or supported any longer.

I don't see a PTO pump in the URL link picture. Dad had a C with that loader and it had a valve tapped off the tractor hydraulic system to power the loader. It also had a reservoir extention off the fill cap hole... pipe to clear the gas tank, 45 degree fitting and a short pipe to a rectangular reservoir that maybe held an extra gallon or two.
I worked in the Engineering Experimental Lab. at Cessna Fluid Power which was bought by Eaton in '89 and we made a lot of PTO pump units. Eaton also owns Char-Lynn and Vickers, but we were the only ones that made gear pumps which were the majority of PTO pumps years ago. Eaton does not believe in factory support of obsolete designs for long. Cessna was strictly an OEM supplier that worked with all the major manufacturers and built many internal hydraulic components that were unique to a particular machine. Eatons pretty much cut that out.... here it is, if it fits, buy it. (They do pay my retirement though.)
 
I have a loader just like it that still has the tag and it is a Hendersen, they were made in Cedar Rapids.
