My nice 1953 Case SC, wide front, has had this Wagner Loader on it since........whew. Maybe the 1950's. Model WM4 SCDC s/n 133. Nice fit; good shape. However, the previous owner cracked the tractor's big, heavy lower nose casting out by it's, "snoot," likely due to the loader on that light front end. It's holding because they banded around the crack and secured the band with a bolt that uses the hole for the crank. Flaky; I hate it, so I bought a good, used front casting. Of course I'll have to pull the loader off to do the repairs like I want to do them, and probably for the sake of the tractor, I'll never put the loader back on. Read: once off, who'd want to reinstall it and stress the tractor's nose again.
Sooooo. Any value to old Wagner loaders???? They sure had their place and seem well built. Husky. I'd hate to scrap it, just 'cause that's the way I am. But pretty quick, I'll not know what to do with it. Be nice to find a Wagner collector, (grin).
