 Topic: Newbie Question
Posted: 22 hours 28 minutes ago at 6:32pm |
Hi. I am looking a purchasing a CA with loader. The loader has long manure forks attached to the bucket. However, I am more likely to use the tractor for moving dirt and gravel.
Is there a decent solution for this problem, or should I look elsewhere for a loader with a different bucket.
Many thanks.

Post a picture of your loader bucket, will make things a lot clearer. 1 solution us to just get a proper dirt bucket for your loader. Another would be to leave the forks on and have a welder fab up a removable plate that covers most of the tines, leaving just a few inches of the tips exposed at teeth.

50 years ago you could of bought my fathers CA as it had the loader with plate as you describe! It was a plate of steel with holes for the forks to go thru. It was AC Stock.
It shouldn't be difficult to fabricate one. Though I recall my father never took it off as a slight bending of the forks made it difficult to be "easy on- easy off".

That bucket is not an original Allis CA loader bucket, a Model 8. Allis had a 'Dirt Plate' available that slid over the Tines to create a Dirt Bucket. There was also a Snow Bucket available that included a longer bottom Plate and also Plate Sides. G https://www.ebay.com/itm/326199764948

i would not bother trying to make it removable.. Just get the local weld shop to lay a 3/16 inch steel plate on the forks and weld in place... probable a wing on each end.. Not difficult at all.

find an old bucket of choice and run the forks thru the back and secure per your preference for permanent or removal...if you lived in the neighborhood, I'd give you one... Dale  |

It looks like you bought a narrow front end tractor. Not great for moving dirt and gravel. With a bucket full of material, it's going to make for an unstable load. Trying to steer would also be a challenge as well.

Thanks for everyone's input! I have not purchased yet, so this is fantastic info.
I had not considered the stability with the narrow front end.
