Hey everyone.. Been a long time since I have posted in this forum. Been coming on this site since right around 1998, but have bounced around from forum to forum. My question is this. I have been trying to determine what model Farmhand loader is on my grandpa's 1940 Farmall M. It is a trip bucket, and I have not been able to find any markings on it. I know that there used to be stickers that said Farmhand on it long ago. The pictures I have enclosed are from 1990. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated.

I thought that it was a stan hoist loader as well, but I noticed that the hydraulic cylinders were different, along with the uprights in the back. There are other small differences I have noticed-like gusset plates (braces) on the loader frame where the bucket attaches are different as well. I have only seen two other tractors with this loader, one was another M that was on Craigslist, and a second was a Case DC that was about 40 miles from where this M is located.
