Title: Can you ID this loader
Post by: yukon cornelius on November 17, 2016, 09:36:47 AM
It is 4 wheel drive, rear steer, Rockwell (I think) axles, 4 cylinder ford gas powered. Appears to be originally red-orange

Looks like a good fixer upper.

I still haven't found a brand. I am going to try to get it. It runs and sounds great. I still don't know if it moves. Price is good though. Fixer uppers are my specialty.

Maybe so. I had not looked up that brand. Thanks

Yukon, just a wild guess but maybe Allis-chalmers? Good luck with it.

Does the clothes line come with it?  :D  That's a neat little loader and know I've seen one before but can't for the life of me think where, hope you get it!

I have looked through the allis lineup that I can find and no matches. The red orange is a bit off from an allis. This one is more red. The ford motor doesn't fit the allis mold. It does not look like a motor swap. I did find a Michigan with the same color and blue ford motor. It was not the same model but a closer match. Maybe I will have it home in a week or to know more. They want to keep the clothes line but that doesn't mean I can't put my own on it lol!

Yukon just wondering if you were able to identify that machine yet.

I have a Allis Chalmers Tractomotive T 10 front end loader but it  doesn't look like that. I'm curious to find out what it is also ::)

Not yet. I hope to get it home soon. Then I can dig deeper into the mystery. Every time I hear of a different brand I go try to find all the models but that is a challenge also. Tractors are much easier to track down than construction type equipment it seems.

Seems to me that it is more likely from a forklift type of builder.  The basic design looks that way, and they added the loader to expand their sales.
