I have a WD45 and Du-Al loader that I bought off my Dad's auction. They have always been together as far as I know. Dad bought in early 50's (I have original manual with his and dealer's signatures). Don't know when the loader was bought but do remember them from the early 60's when it was used for hay stacking, manure 'management', and pushing snow. Numerous searches on internet and I have not seen a Du-Al that matches this one. Mainly, the entire frame is 4" square tubing. The only ID is a plate welded to top center of frame directly above steering wheel. Plate says "DU-AL MFG. CO. SIOUX FALLS, SO. DAK., 7915, PAT. NO. 2,619,242". Wonder what model this is or does it predate model numbers?
