Thanks for the pics Michael. I see the steering arm is bent along with the foot rest. The Serial number plate looks similar to the one on my loader. Anyone know if the forklift was made by Henry Manufacturing like the loaders were?

I asked about a close up of the serial number plate. I'd guess by the design and time period that loader was built, it might be by Henry. Though some of the other attachments were by other vendors.

I was recently about 2 hours from there, if Easter was not here, I would have asked to go see it.

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.

I have seen one of these that was restored to a better than new look.
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

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.

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.

What is that long shape to the left and in the foreground of the grader blade? Fork blade?

Looks like it could be a swath board from a sickle mower.

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

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.

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

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