Alright friends as you all know last month a dear friend and mentor of mine died and its been right but I'm finally feeling better about it but now I'd like to do something to memorialize him and Pay homage to such a kind and great man that gave me so much. I remember he had a styled wc with a hay fork. While styled wcs aren't uncommon and faulty cheap to aquire its the hay fork I'm stumped about. I'd like to recreate his Tractor since the original was scrapped long ago. I'll post some photos and if anyone can help me pinpoint what style brand or whatever it is I'd be greatly appreciated. Whether it's period correct doesn't matter to me I'd just like to have something to always look at and think of him and this would certainly do http://s346.photobucket.com/user/Cody_Wangen/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FB_IMG_1469542574561_zpsr2m1csvq.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> . http://s346.photobucket.com/user/Cody_Wangen/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FB_IMG_1469542491148_zps99pnit2y.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> . http://s346.photobucket.com/user/Cody_Wangen/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FB_IMG_1469542448462_zpsjt2bqvi3.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> ------------- 1951 WD 1945 C 1936 WC |

Its what we used to call a Crows nest Farmhand loader, not sure if it was a model F10 but they made that model for years with variuos improvements. My father inlaw had one like that on a Case tractor. ------------- 1945 C, 1949 WF and WD, 1981 185, 1982 8030, unknown D14(nonrunner) |

| You can go to Fargo craigslist there is a farmhand F10 stacking loader on right now. I see them for sale up here a few times a year. A few are still in use for speciality projects but most are sitting in the tree row. One of my neighbors has a WC with one on it I haven't seen it move in years. The bucking forks were made of wood and you'll have to recreate that part not many have survived sitting in the tree row. We use one the farm I worked beet harvest. It has a platform in place of the fork and two guys can stand on it when we were converting the trucks from beets to beans and back when the weather wasn't cooperating. The platform goes real high and levels as you go up. It like having a scaffolding mounted on the front of a tractor. It was also great when we insulated the cealing in the shop. The rest of the time it just sits parked in the back of the shed. |

I seen those but you'll notice they aren't he same style I want something exactly the same or at least close enough. Those are f10s this one predates them. I think I found one in Kansas at a show Im gonna call them today and get info on it. Maybe they'll sell it. As you can see those go down the side this goes over top its a small difference but I'm picky lol specially since I'm doing it as a tribute for a dear friend ------------- 1951 WD 1945 C 1936 WC |

I found a picture that matches your loader picture on the farm hand collectors page. It's listed as a John Deere 52. In the picture it's mounted on a farmall was only produced in 1962 and 1963 discontinued for lack of interest. Good luck in your hunt. I'm going to drive by my neighbors in the next couple days but I'm very sure the one they have on a WC is a farmhand. http://www.farmcollector.com/equipment/farmhand-loader-line-models-attachments.aspx[/URL]

| If you google John Deere 52 you won't find that loader. You'll find the modern loader that fits compact tractors. |

So it's a Deere for sure then? I'll have to dig into that thanks for your help. Hopefully the guy at the show gets back to me about theirs. I would have swore it was a farmhand. Either way we are getting closer ------------- 1951 WD 1945 C 1936 WC |

I still beleave it is a Farmhand, I think JD copied it close to get into the market but they were too late, Farmhand had them way earlier than the 60s. ------------- 1945 C, 1949 WF and WD, 1981 185, 1982 8030, unknown D14(nonrunner) |
