After a long road trip (1,463 miles) I came home with this loader last night. Spent today getting it hooked up and running. I am very happy with the way it looks and performs so far. Planning on building a tractor dedicated to this loader in the near future.

wish i knew about some of that stuff... coulda used a pair of tires...
Mack, i did just order a set of 4 Carlisle lugs for the loader tractor...
Interesting note... no more super lugs in the 23x10.5x12.. TruPower only... supposedly super lugs are discontinued as per Tucker Tire...
I couldnt find the Supers anywhere else either... |

Adam couldn't have hooked up a better guy with parts to make his passion complete
Thank you Michael.
Adam did a very good job of rescuing some incredibly nice pieces! I only had a short time to view some of the items he recovered. I saw two large frame tillers and a B series snow thrower still in their original boxes. Brand new 40+ year old Goodyear tires. Just some really nice stuff! |

Wow, that thing is amazing! Hard to understand why it never got used, expensive attachment to leave sit idle.
It, alomg with about 4 more truck loads of stuff from this dealer was never used.
The story from the family was that it was ordered for a customer, and the customer never ended up coming back to get it. The loader sat in the back corner of the building without ever being moved.
When I got it, as mack said, it had 40 years of grime on it - but thats what kept it in great condition. The hadrware was there, the pulley, the v - belt... this was literally frozen in time as if it was just received from the dealer.
This place was a once in a lifetime find - and Mack got a once in a lifetime loader :) |

Actually Adam, it was on a tractor in Ohio on Thursday!  |

NOS! Well craps, no wonder it looks so good! After the scrubbing of course. Now how rare a find is that! |

So, so cool! Just the paper work is one of a kind! Will it hurt to scratch her up, or are you going to keep her 'fresh'? |

Has about 40 years worth of grime on it.
Took several refills of the 409 degreaser and some serious work with a scrub brush to get it looking like this!
