Attachment help??

Smokedawg · Mar 2, 2017

Anyone familiar with this attachment? The guy I got it off of said it was original off his Ford 800. I can't find anything online about it. Was going to clean it up to sell it, but would like to find some information on it first.

The center boom is a hydraulic ram to lift.

It is an Old wagon jack, placed it over the drawbar of tractor, hooked cable to wooden box wagon and start jacking like you would a hydraulic jack, I used one so as a youth,Unloaded ear corn into an elevator we are talking late 50s early 60s

Let me rephrase that, you placed it over wagon tongue that was hooked to tractor, wagon had to be hooked to tractor or blocked really well

The cylinder on it is hydraulic

They made them also with one way hydraulics, , the hydraulic ones were more expensive, you have no idea how many memories that jack brings back

Thanks for the help! Probably not many people looking for these

Oh man, the memories. Took a while to scroll down to the picture.

Dad picked ear corn for us and uncle, is kids were wagon hitches, my uncle ran the utility tractor that fetched wagons with one of those on the
back. Did that for years. My uncle quit, so dad found one at an auction sale, put it on our 960. Uncle had his on a little international tractor.

Actually, dad bought three of them over the years. He bought one really, really cheap at an auction sale. When he was dragging it back to the
car to haul home, a fella asked what he wanted for it. Dad threw out a joke number, 3x what he paid for it. But he wasn't thinking, he paid so
little for it, the fella pulled cash out of his pocket and bought it from dad...... He was too sheepish to not go ahead with selling it, we really
needed one, so he did find one for a bit more on another auction.

Then a couple years later my uncle sold out, and dad bought his on the sale too, as a backup.

The rusty piece laying on top is not part of the unit. It's a
Dearborn swinging drawbar and should be sold separately.

Any idea's what tractors that wagon jack is made to fit? Doesnt look like a standard 3pt hookup.

farmer656 · Mar 3, 2017

The one we had was not hooked to the tractor, you picked it up by hand and set it over the tongue of wagon, I have seen some that where mounted to a tractor, I do not remember what tractor, that was over 50 years ago
