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.

| Paul; it looks good on that tractor. Time to do up another yellow 300/400 and leave loader where it is. Dave |
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

Great looking loader Mack! Someone did a good job refurbing it.....and same for your tractor. Except that orange paint sure faded strangely.  |

Has about 40 years worth of grime on it.
Took several refills of the 409 degreaser and some serious work with a scrub brush to get it looking like this!

| So, so cool! Just the paper work is one of a kind! Will it hurt to scratch her up, or are you going to keep her 'fresh'? |

| 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. |

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 :) |

Congratulations Mack, that is a whale of a find!! Could we see some close-up shots of the pump? I'm curious where the pump mounts..
