Old old loader

DeanAllen · Oct 13, 2021

This is a MM R that my Grandpa had sometime between '46 and '54. (Dad and Aunt Shirley are in the bucket) I want to build a replica 1/16 scale of this R with the loader. However, I know nothing about this loader except this picture. Does anyone know a make or model? Is there something on the web about it that I'm not finding? Thanks in advance!

Back in the old days there were many loaders built buy local companies. Do you still live in this area? Find some old timers to talk to and maybe they will know about that loader.
Dad had a loader made a few miles away in Columbus, Ne. Its name was Duncan, and it served us for many years in the 50s.

Looks like it might be a'FarmersFriend' cable loader.Or something homemade,like the cable loader my dad had on an F20.

The bucket appears very similar to the bucket on my Farmhand F11.

Can't see the rest of the loader good enough to have any idea.

Looks lile a vertical frame and cables
and pulleys indicateing a very old/early
factory built,or something
homemade.There is(or used to be)A
similar rig on a Farmall 'Regular up in
the neighboring mountains that is most
definitely homemade.
