After more than 70 years we've located the original IHC Hay Loader that was used on our farm. It turned up on a neighbors farm down in the wooods. Here is what my 90 year old Dad can recall.

The loader uses wooden slats with pieces of hemp roap attached - acting like a conveyor to move the hay up onto the wagon. This predates the crank finger type used later.

The unit is restorable especially since we've had donated to us spare parts from another unit.

Does anyone have information on this tpe of hay loader - a book, better photos, or just product knowledge they like to share.
One other note - we know the front wheels are t in this photo, but the good news is we have them on our farm.

I have attached a photo for your review.

All the best - Ken

ken, i have a mccormick rope and slat hay loader in very good unrestored condition. it is the same design as the keystone loader built by ih through 1914, according to wendel's "150 years of international harvester". mine came out of a barn up near cambridge. i suspect the reason it is in such good shape was that it didn't work all that well. a friend whose dad had one when he was a boy, said they spent more time fixing the hay loader than they spent using it. it might work ok on super coarse hay, but since there is no deck, i think you would keep reloading the same fine hay until there were no leaves left on it.
i had pictures but they are on a hard drive that locked up.

You mention in your reply Cambridge. Do you mean Cambridge, MA? I actually live near Albany, but work in Cambridge, MA. If yes to my question perhaps we could connect so I can see what this unit is supposed to look like.

Thanks for your post.

I don't know much about them but around here the Amish use them and you might be able to look at one that is still in use on one of their farms.
