Nice pics Royse!
Do you happen to know anything about the shape of the frame? It's interesting how it has that strong curve in it. Maybe to help keep CoG lower?
The 1841 (both yours and Arthurs) are beautiful machines. Looking forward to seeing pics of yours once finished.

"Do you happen to know anything about the shape of the frame?"
Thanks KCM. I can't speak specifically to the shape of the frame
but I suspect it is functionally to keep it low on the rear both for
egress/ingress as well as to line it up to hook to the rear axle.
I can tell you that it is an integral part of the tractor frame.
The front axle/bolster is only held on by two bolts at the engine.
The strength comes from the loader frame being on the exterior.
And that front axle/bolster is massive and heavy!
My little forklift had issues with steering when moving it.
I don't think you could use this tractor without the loader frame.
The loader arms and bucket, obviously, can be taken off.
Here's a pic of how it buckled when I took the frame off and
another of the front axle assembly once removed. All cast iron.
Even the nose cone and grill insert are cast iron.
Nose cone weighs 250 lbs alone. It houses the hydraulic tank
and protects the hydraulic pump which mounts to the bolt holes
where I have the chains of the cherry picker attached.

Where did you get yours? I see that the
previous owner added an extra inspection
hole to it.
