The loader arms are long with a slim bucket, looks like it mounts to the 3 point and the top link is a hydraulic cylinder. Has anyone ever ran across one of these? It is buried in a shed, and I could not get a good look at it, plus the shed is locked and I can,t always get there when it is unlocked, to check it out better. Make? Worth? or any general info would be nice. Thanks, Bob [Reply]   [No Email]

I don't know what the rims came off. (auction) The fronts fit the 8N with no mods. This tractor had turf wheel adapters on the rear which matched those huge rears. (about 1/2" thick) Very tough to mount-loaded tires, very small clearance around the drum. Also had to notch the fender braces a little for clearance. It would have been easier to move the fenders in, but the rear loader brackets were in the way. Tractor has been sold. I put the loader on another Ford. Tractor always got a lot of positive comments. looked like a steamroller in person. Side benefit was with the smaller height tires, gear ratio was changed a little. In low gear, it would PULL.

Worked beautifully with the accessory cylcinders and a ground driven JD model "H" manure spreader. First time "all the manure got spread at Dads place and my brothers. Only real safety issue is "A light front can cause a roll over, when going up a hill, with a full load!!! Charles Krammin SW MI [Reply]  [No Email]

It was probably one of these. He would have had just the one tractor at the time, so after getting it loaded he would have hooked onto the old ground drive JD and spread the load. [Reply]  [No Email]

I've seen it posted recently. Hang in there, someone will post it. I'd like to find one close to me. I think they'd be quite handy without ruining my front axle parts! [Reply]  [No Email]
