Well, after over a decade of trying to identify exactly what type of loader was on my grandfather's 1940 Farmall M, I was browsing around eBay and found an original sales brochure from Farmhand that showcases the loader. Many of you may remember a few of my posts about the identification, many may not. I had been told by many it was a Stanhoist loader, but something told me different. I was never able to find any markings on the loader other than a little bit of a remnant of a "Farmhand" decal on the loader. I have only seen a handful of loaders like it, and always have tried to identify them. Turns out, this is the Farmhand "Standard" Loader. One of the most interesting parts of this brochure is that it was sent via mail to a prospecting customer with the price listed on the cover. The postage during the era was 2 cents, and the dealer stamp is even on the back - G&S Implement Co in Balator, MN (Approximately 180 miles from me in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis). The gent I obtained this from lives in England - so this piece of literature has had quite an adventure! Enjoy the photos! I enclosed two from 1990 of me on Grandpa's M, and the rest are of the brochure.
