Front end loader

Joe Dowling · Dec 20, 2009

Can anyone identify the make/model of the loader on my '52 "H"? My Grandfather bought the tractor new, so I know he bought the loader too. It has straight rails, a trip bucket, and cables over hydraulic cylinders. I adapted the homemade blade on it, and it attaches with only 2 pins.

Any idea about the correct colors when I paint it this summer?

The loader is not Caswell which was made in Cherokee, Ia. Their loader had a single cylinder which mounted on tractor's front ahead of the grill and loader rode in a track just ahead of the cylinder. If it's a Caswell, it was made before 1945. It most likely was made some where in your area and not by a national company at the time. My 2 cents worth.--WOK

I used a loader just like that one for 20 years, I was told it was a Horn loader. I still have it sitting behind my barn.

I think that it is a Sears product or sold by Sears. We had one, (nephew still has it), but attached the lift cylinders cables differently, at least it didn't let the cylinders go down forward that far. We had a trip bucket and a home made blade.
