Loader Tractor

Is this a home-made or bought kit loader tractor???

old · Mar 11, 2015

Hard to say. I have seen more then one tractor where the ring and pinion gear where flipped and a loader put on like that fork lift set up is

I'm inclined toward a professionally built kit. There was lots of that kind of stuff being done back in the day, and it doesn't look as cobbled up as a homemade one might be.

I would say home made.

Webuilt one a little more than 20 years ago.
It consists of Super WD9 with the ring gear carrier reversed, a 305 chevy for power, a cast iron 1950T oliver grill and hood,Plus a custom built loader made from Farm hand loader parts.
It has been a good unit, with front drive, the more you grab, the better the traction

Where the heck is the operator station??? (seat/ steering wheel)

SparepartsTN · Mar 11, 2015

ACG It looks like the seat is on the other side facing back, hydraulic hoses from other side to pistons attached to steering arms. Sort of like a Lull forklift set-up. Looks like a shop built unit, some decent engineering went into that.

I have no idea.......But I like it! Here's mine

Do not quote me on this but I am PRETTY sure, there was a guy down around Sikeston Mo late 50 that built a few of those thing to use around auctions. I know I have seen more than that one and ever one I remember seeing was around Sikeston.

Here's an H I saw at Farmalland USA a few years ago.

Dunno about the red one, but here"s my faded orange....reversed WD with Paulson loader, full hyd bucket. Built that in the mid 70s.

I still want one. Or would like to make one. Take an older rough terrain forklift, remove the mast and put loader on.

bwillett · Mar 12, 2015

I asked because I really don't know. I have not asked the owners anything about it. All I do know is that it is owned by a small Machine Shop in a town near me....

WOW! that's a chunk of Iron!

I would say homemade but please understand that back in the 50" people began making equipment to fulfill needs like heavy duty forklifts that weren't available.
