After a long road trip (1,463 miles) I came home with this loader last night. Spent today getting it hooked up and running. I am very happy with the way it looks and performs so far. Planning on building a tractor dedicated to this loader in the near future.
Wow that looks so familar (it was in my garage in CT on Wednesday, and on a tractor in Ohio by Friday LOL!). Glad you like it and it found a home on a 300 series tractor without having been cut up to fit another.

Actually Adam, it was on a tractor in Ohio on Thursday!
Wow, that thing is amazing! Hard to understand why it never got used, expensive attachment to leave sit idle.
It, alomg with about 4 more truck loads of stuff from this dealer was never used.
The story from the family was that it was ordered for a customer, and the customer never ended up coming back to get it. The loader sat in the back corner of the building without ever being moved.
When I got it, as mack said, it had 40 years of grime on it - but thats what kept it in great condition. The hadrware was there, the pulley, the v - belt... this was literally frozen in time as if it was just received from the dealer.
This place was a once in a lifetime find - and Mack got a once in a lifetime loader :)
