I have a WD turned around and do alot of concrete work, lots of raw coments made when you pull in a yard, but it doesn't take long to get good ones instead. Would not take a bucket of money for it. I have two tractomotives, but they are not the same thing at all as the reversed WD. I think Tractomotives were going to be a seperate divisions in the Company. I kind of think they were headed in two different directions at one time but I think a health issue detained it, just can't remember for sure. The Tractomtive loader on mine and a Allis crawler HD5G loader are interchangable, and have AC WD and WD45 motors. There was a few posts a couple years ago on the Tractomotive issue. I spoke for my reversed WD 28 years before I got posession, When the farmer retired he saved it from the auction ring for me. Sure glad he did as a few folks came to the sale looking to buy it assuming it was for sale. My brother hates my reversed, and you will to if you think you can force the bucket into the ground. You must draft it like a plow and it will dig with the best of them. I have a snow blower on my other WD, and plan on reinstalling the snap coupler on the reversed one so I can blow snow with it. I certianly would be interested in the one you mentionedd if you are not. Location may be a issue. The ones in this area have just been plain wore out to say the least. Prices in this area $2,000.00 -$2,500.00 in the rough, as that is all I have seen sell. The loader and live pump are the biggest concern you should probably have, as If you try hard enough you can tear a loader up, and a good pump is extreemly important. I would certianly expect the bucket to be as wide as the wheels at a min.
They are good in tight areas, a little hard to get used too perhaps. I also have a post hole digger on mine and love that a whole big bunch. They probably are not a good canidate for a heat houser. If the reversed were ever offered as factory I have never heard of it. Forklifts were factory.
Good luck Dave NE IA
