Hi Bill, What information are you looking for? The TractoMotive Co. built loaders mostly for AC tractors from the mid 40 through the mid 50 when they were bought by AC. The TS5 is an HD-5 with a Tractor Motive Loader installed at the Tractor Motive plant. The engine is a GM/Detroit 2-71. HD-5s became HD-6s in the mid 50s when AC began using their own engines AC/Buda. So the basic tractor HD-5/6 was built from 1946 to 1974. Some came with 5 forward and 1 reverse trans and some had 4 forward and 2 reverse trans. Later HD-6s had power steering and power brakes and some ag machines where turbocharged. The TS-5s I've seen for sell or auction still go for about what they cost new. Lee Bradley
