Anyone else remember using one? I might take a picture of the loader here. One cylinder on the tractor front, chains to the loader arms. A trip rope dumped the bucket, you reset the fork by backing the tractor with the loader down.

Not exactly like you described, but it had the trip bucket. An old Allis Chalmers WD. Cylinder on each side with a steel cable controlled trip bucket that I rigged up. 6" bucket, narrow front and no power steering.
Not very fancy, but it worked to clear a 75 yard driveway of a broke 28 year old dude living in the sticks of Iowa!

That old loader is covered in dead grass, and now snow, no pictures.

Remember my grandfather had one of the loader and one of the trip buckets when I was a kid.

Wish I could say that I am an IA farm boy. But alas, now live in town and work in the city. It bites. Still have my country in my blood though.

Might sound funny, but here goes. I miss the chickens scratching around and chasing crickets. Miss just getting out my .22 rifle and shooting in the yard.

I get on here every day...but seldom post. Lazy I guess.

You are one of the "good old boy's" Wabigoon! I always look for your post's in the cooking forum. Wish we were neighbor's! LOL

I had a front end loader with 2 cylinders on the arms, but it had a trip bucket. Handle on the left side of the frame and a rod that ran to the bucket latch. Pull the handle and the bucket unloaded. To reset the bucket, lower the arms while driving in reverse and drag the bucket on the ground.

Worked on a dairy farm that had a WD45 with a loader like Oldman described..

Dad had an International 574 with a Dunham Lehr loader.
Hydraulic up, down, dump, raise the bucket.

That old, one way lift, trip bucket, seemed awful Mickey Mouse.
If I remember right, you could only raise the bucket with the clutch
out. No hydraulics if you pushed it in.

Love those old tractors, and they pull better than newer ones.

Hydraulics, PTO, rear lifts, steering, brakes...
well, a lot has improved.

First front loader on the farm was a Wagner on the Ford 8N. Two buckets, snow and material. Granddad called the outfit his hired man.

I grew up running a Ford NAA loader with a front live pump. Hydraulic tip bucket. My father bought that in the summer of 53, I was ten years old the following winter.

I kid the grandchildren on their birthdays. When I was your age, I was smoking cigars, and shaving with a straight razor. laugh
