Well,this will be one to watch! Only 50 miles from me. Was hoping no one else would catch it but looks like it's open season now.

Haven't seen anything. It will probably pop back up on Simpletractors this winter after he gets a chance to get it all redone. He needs some parts, so chances are he'll be fabricating. On something that rare, I bet it's tough to get dimensions, etc. I only know of one guy that has a complete one... |

If you look over the steer tire there are 2 pieces of railroad rail as a counter weight |

Geez, the back end doesn't get light with over 500lbs on it? Very well done, that is one cool looking rig. |

I know this isn't like the AC look alike that i had planned to build but I used what parts that came available. It lift 65" to the bottom of the forks and we lift a tested weight of 525 lb.

well I thought so too but it looks a tad too long for that. Maybe it is just the angle of the shot. |

Unfortunately he didn't get the forks, or did he? I see it was another Henry Co. attachment and they label it B-1 or B-10 after the model tractor it was installed on (I think). Would be curious if the serial number fall in the range of the loaders or if there was a count of how many of these attachments made. Let us know when you see it at a show. |

Jonathan Mole(Jonnysac)got the fork lift. He does very nice work on his restorations so I'm hoping to see this in person at an upcoming show soon.
Here are a couple of pics. Mike Beiry(MDB)posted across the street.
Looks like they picked up a few other goodies as well.

they use it around there farm on a daily bases. It got me in the mode to find one or build one.I started getting stuff to build on from sum drawings i found on the enternet.but before I could get started I had my second back surgery.when recovering I found a different option. I bought a toro greenmaster reel mower that is all hydraulic. I striped all the mower parts off and started building from there. I have finished it and have started to paint.
I'll post some picture when it's dry
I can't wait to see that. |

Wow, that is going to take alot to restore. With how rare it is it is definitely worth it, too bad I don't have the resources to get it back to it's deserved state. |
