Hi Jon,
I have an all hydraulic front tractor loader I bought from my brother last year that came off a Case 611b. I was looking for any
kind of manufacture on the loader and found a decal on the hydraulic cylinder that said Laurell MFG. Braham, MN. Do you know of
such a company? I assume this manufacture decal is for the hydraulic cylinders only. The decal is old, so I am not too sure of the
company spelling. I googled this company and came up with Aurelius company in Braham. Any coincidence? Just curious about the
loader. It is painted like a MM yellow color. Who knows who made it. Any info is greatly appreciated sir. Thank you.

No info on the loader, but Aurelius manufacturing still makes cylinders in Braham. I don't remember it being under the name Laurel, but there are still folks of that name around. It has been Aurelius since my earliest memories in the late 60's or early 70's and in the same location. If the yellow color is closer to an industrial yellow it's posible that the loader was made by the Dahlman company that made potato equipment in Braham at the same time. Their equipment in the early days was a very dark green, a bit darker than oliver green and yellow similar to some of the industrial yellows. They later changed the yellow to a cream color. Those companies shared a fenceline. Dahlman's did try to get into some other products over the years including rock pickers and gravity wagons, but I don't remember any front loaders.
