Mystery Mini Articulated Tractor

OK Members, Here's one for you. I just purchased a small (1500-2000 lbs.) articulated 4X4 tractor that all ID has been lost or painted over. It has what looks to be a single cylinder Wisconsin engine, 3
speed transaxle front drive, shaft to rear, rear cat. 0 - 3 point hitch and a loader, everything hydraulic. I suspect it was built in the 60's as it has a generator, rather than an alternator. The rumor
that came with it says is was built by TEREX. I'm hoping to attach some pix, but I'm not too computer wise. If you can help or know where there is another, let's discuss. Thanks, Glenn

I have no idea who built it,but look like they copied the Jackson Tractor, what is that u ask, There was a guy, Erval Jackson, he built 4 wheel tractors,on a custom basis! But the loader bucket, definitely resemble a John Deere bucket!!
 
When you say shaft to rear, do you mean it's all wheel drive, as I don't see a PTO? From what I can see, I'd guess that's a Briggs & Stratton with belt drive combination starter/generator.
 
Cute, tho the muffler is poorly located.

Articulated tractors and loaders dont work well together, but I realize this is for show more than heavy work!

Really? There's a whole industry based on articulated tractors with loaders on them:

Thanks to all contributers. Close look - The engine is a Briggs & Stratton. Starter / Gen combined. Yes, the moths have had lunch. Up here in Maine we had lots of chicken houses and their manure was very corosive. Most owners had small tractors such as this to push the manure outside. Seems like a problem to get this thing up 2-5 flights. I just drove it around. It's well designed and goes good.
 
Oh, I meant to add there is no PTO. It is Full Time 4WD. The shift pattern is: First Notch Forward - 1st gear; 2nd Notch Forward - 2nd gear; 3rd notch forward- 3rd gear. Pull it all the way back for reverse. Neutral Spot between all ranges. R -N-1-N-2-N-3
 
Hi, would agree there. My first thought was that it might be a Ferrari, not to be confused with the cars! The bonnet and wings are of similar shape but most had a Lombardini engine. Loader brackets look well made. Seems like a little tractor encased in the loader frame and safety frame.

Former Pasquali 986 owner here. No loader, but sure understand the principle.

The li'l green machine and my old Pasquali both had an engine-forward design. That Cat loader has the weight of its engine in the rear, which acts as counterweight.

I liked my li'l Pasquali (may it rest in pieces), and this li'l green thing looks like it'd be fun as well. Enjoy!
 
Looks like some of the older Steiner golf course mowers/tractors. They are made in Orville Ohio. Canopy sure looks like a Yamaha golf cart roof.
 
Well we've had several internet responders discussing this one. The one that looks the best to me is an old discussion right here:

It may have started life as a Twister Tractor by Bruce MFG., Bruce, WI in the 70's. They also made the PUG ATV. No doubt it has been modified over the years. I'm pretty sure it is not Parquali as I see no Italian parts. We're having fun anyway.

Shhh! Don't tell the Payloader fans they aren't going to be able to do heavy work.
