Says right on the loader frame. Model is 4-78-15. 4 wheel drive, 78 engine horse power, 15 foot dig hoe. Variations 2-78-15, your unit, 2-78-17, and 4-78-17. Based on 1650 chassis, not 1655, although yours appears to have the later direct injection engine. The 2-62-15 was based on the 1550 chassis. The 2/4-80-15/17 was a different unitized chassis but the 1655 changes to the powertrain. The 15 foot hoe swung with a rotary cylinder, and the 17 foot hoe swung with two linear cylinders. Reversing transmission between the engine and transmission was made by Funk. If you are going to keep and use the machine, if you don't have one get an operators manual reprint from The Floyd County Museum in Charles City IA. Had to tell from the picture, but it looks like your boom and stick are in good shape. Word of wisdom, DO NOT try to back fill with the hoe, you do NOT want to have problems with the swing motor/rotary cylinder.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
