Westendorf mounting brackets for Allis 185

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am searching for a used loader which fits an Allis 185. Westendorf TA-26 and WL-42 both would work (among others). Westendorf's web site names the 42 as best loader for a 185, so I've searched mainly for that model.  There are quite a few used loaders available but haven't found one from a 185 or any Allis Chalmers tractor.
The 185 needs the AC1 mount, and the most common available appear to be IH1 (from a 1066 or 1086).  A new mount kit costs over 2k, so hoping to save that expense.

Does anyone have experience converting a Westendorf mount to fit different tractor style?
