I am looking for anyone who owns or has any knowledge of an overhead loader/dumper that was installed on John Deere and Cletrac tractors. These were probably built from the late 1930's through the 1940's. The loader/dumper would pick or scoop up the earth/gravel from the back of the crawler. The bucket would then raise over the tractor and dump the earth/gravel into the dump truck waiting at the front of the crawler (180 degree swing).

I remember them being installed on TD-9's and TD-14's. They were working in the sand pits near LaFontaine. The operator called them an Over Shoulder Boulder Roller, but they lifted from the front and dumped over the back. Worked all right but mighty hard on trucks as rate of discharge was not controllable and machine quite tippy with the load 9feet off the ground over the tractor while moving. Also only suited to smaller trucks.

Don't think I can help much but believe I've seen one of these working many years ago here in the Pine Tree State (Maine). Probably was on a Cletrac but it impressed me as endangering the operator when anything fell off the bucket on it's arc overhead. No idea where it was made but if in Maine it was likely Portland (possibly Bath) where most of the steel working was in those days.
