Hi All:

Here are some pictures of the No 52 loader that I'm trying to find more information about. When was it made? Were there many made? I would like to find decals for it when I get it repainted. Thanks much for your help.

That's one scary looking jib crane but most of them are.

Have you thought about moving the loader back maybe a foot or more? The bucket should just clear the front wheels when the cylinders are fully retracted. The tractor will be less tippy and the front axle will thank you. I would also run a pair of struts to the rear axle.
 
Wow, that things not home made? The loader support arms and "I" frame pieces that the arms/cylinders mounts to looks not nearly strong enough for the loaders size. Looks like an accident waiting to happen. :?
 
I have a 52 loader on a 400 I purchased in 1986 good loader but you are missing the braces that go to the rear axle,keep lots of iron on the back as she reaches out there along ways.I load spreaders over the cow yard fence.Keep good steering on her as you will need it.I have only come across one other 52 loader since 1986 and that was on a 656.If you ever need seals for cylinders give me a holler I have up to date part numbers as most dealers will not know what you are talking about.By the way mine says Mccormick No 52 underneath the old paint.Scott
 
I second Wardner's opinion, move it back to allow better balance and much less steering force. With out moving it back (I would guess 20 inches) it will put massive bending strain on the torque tube and frame rails. Especially without the rear axle braces (triangle to a common point on the front of the axle. to the top and bottom of the uprights).

Nice looking loader, I don't think I have ever seen one like it. I zoomed in on different parts of the loader and I don't see any evidence of repairs. (No Welding) Did you take the pictures so we could not see any of the repairs that are usually made to loader frames? Do you have the braces that others spoke about that go back to the rear axles? Sure would like to see pictures when you get it painted. Good luck trying to find decals.
 
Thankyou for looking a my post wondering if you could post photos of rear bracing and were they factory or added on ?
 
You have the loader mounted correctly.

This particular loader is a LIGHT DUTY model, hence it does not have braces back to the rear axles like a 2000 loader, for example. It would not have braces from the factory.

If you can move the loader back on the tractor, that will make things stronger. But, you gotta find holes that will match up.

There were a lot of different, short-lived, loader models in the 1950's and 1960's. The industry really had no idea how to design a good loader, and they were figuring it out as they went.
 
Hi JMP I don't have pictures of mine,but mine were factory braces that fastened to the top and bottom of square upright frame member bottom was three inch channel iron top one one was sold iron,with 5/8 bolts forming point of triangle at rear axle,bolting channel to short flat plate that sets under fender plate which used 1/2 inch bolts but don't do it this way I changed mine by tossing plate and welding piece of heavy angle to channel iron and using two 7/8 bolts to make fasten like standard drawbar as I got tired of broken fender bolts.The loader I saw on 656 was mounted same way.The one in your picture looks like it does not have holes so that is a little more work.REMEMBER ONE THING KEEP LOTS OF WEIGHT ON BACK FOR SAFETY!!!! Good luck Scott
 

My Dad's old 52 loader on the 806 is in need of new hydraulic cylinder seals. I sure could use the part number list that you referred to in your posting. I am hoping that Baum Iron Hydraulics may be supplier. Thanks in advance of anything you can send me.
