wagnor mobile scoop

NICKF · Sep 14, 2013

I was wondering if there is anyone who knows anything about a wagnor mobile loader it has three wheels. It steers by single wheel in rear,and it has a flat head 6 cylinder engine. Don't know what brand name the engine is in the loader.

If you look in the photo galleries at the left and do a search for Scoopmobile, you will see one of my two. The second one is not yet up and going, but I am getting closer. They have a Chrysler industrial flathead six. The arms for the planetaries on the drive axle are on the outside, and it is made to be towed backwards with the arms removed. My operational one is the older of my two, and it was built by Mixermobile Manufacturing. I think they were built in Oregon. If memory serves correctly, the newest one I saw was Bendix and/or Westinghouse. I think the first ones were in 1938, the last in the mid-seventies.

Paul,
In the late 50s I worked for a concrete paving outfit that had 4 Scoopmobiles. The buckets were cable-lift. When I towed one all I had to do was put the trans in neutral, unhook the steering arm, and hook up a tow bar to the spindle. They later got one new hydraulic one-arm machine like yours with an open station.
