Wagner made mounting kits for their loaders to adapt to every major make of tractor, but most of the surviving examples are on Internationals and Fords/Fergusons. The color depended on the tractor the loader was being mounted to. In 1957, IH did not yet offer an industrial loader or backhoe of their own design, so they signed agreements with Pippin Mfg and Wagner Iron Works to supply them with industrial loader and backhoe attachments for utility versions of their ag tractors. The agreement lasted until around 1961, when IH released and industrial loader and backhoe of their own design. Wagner manufactured the loaders and backhoes at their facility near the lakefront in Milwaukee, WI, which still stands (its now used to store boats from the Milwaukee Marina/Harbor over winter). On IH tractors up until 1960, the frame, bucket, hyd. cylinder bodies, valves, hard lines, pump, external reservoir, etc. was painted IH red and the loader arms were painted IH white. After 1960, the entire unit was painted IH Federal Yellow. Most of the loaders I've seen on Fords were entirely red, but I couldn't tell you if that was the original color or not.

The models I am aware of from that time period are:
No. 45- Farmall Cub/Cub Lo Boy
No. 130- IH 300/330/350 Utility
No. 200- IH 350 Utility
No. 250- IH W450 or IH 650

Wagner dropped out of the loader market in the early 1960's, so replacement parts are non-existent. Hydraulically, any Hydraulic supplier or rebuilder should be able to supply you with the vee-packing, o-rings, selector valves, check valves, flow control valves, etc. necessary to rebuild the cylinders and repair the hydraulic system. Valves were either from Gresen or were of their own design. Mechanically, pins were made out of heat treated high-carbon steel and corresponded to nominal 3/4", 1" or 1-1/4" stock sizes. Aside from loose pins, cracked and blown hydraulic hoses, and rusted and pitted cylinder rods, not much else to really fix on them.
