656 Farmall loader

Hi
Can anyone tell me what loader this is.
It is on an 1970, 656 Farmall.it has a parking stand.
Looks a lot like a International 2350, but they did not come with a parking stand.
Trying to convert it to a quick attach loader.
First thing everyone asks is what loader is it.
Appreciate any help

Hello James, welcome to YT! In what I see as the last photo (#…881) I think I can make out Schwartz. Which is a company in Lester Prairie, MN that did manufacture FEL, aftermarket tractor wide front ends and truck hoists as well as some other stuff.
Here is some info on the loader models they manufactured.
1300 / 1400 Series: Highly popular utility and row-crop loaders. These are often mechanically identical to some vintage OEM loaders (like the Ford 772) and feature pin-on buckets.

92Q: A mid-sized, row-crop loader often fitted on 2WD models like the John Deere 1450.

2408 / 2409: Durable models frequently paired with compact to utility-sized tractors (such as the Ford New Holland 1725).

1700QT / 1800QT / 1900QT (Quick-Tach): These vintage multi-purpose loaders were released in the late 1970s and 1980s. They were noted for a quicker attachment mounting/dismounting system

Those “pockets” with the locating pins where the vertical section on the back of the main frame rests in, makes yours somewhat of a “quick-attach” version.

I think I am on the right track. I think it's an Schwartz 1600. I will take a better look when get back up to it. I use it in the wood and grading my driveway.
This is awesome, thanks a ton.
There are more questions to ask for sure. One thing at a time.

I would agree with Used Red that there are definitely more Schwartz features than IH.
I spent 20 years around a same vintage Ford loader made by Schwartz.
I also spent about the same time around a 2250 on a 686.

Don't need to get back up to it. Just google "Schwartz 1600 loader" and select Images. Look at the ones you posted vs the ones the search shows you. Sure looks the same to me.

Definitely NOT an IH 2350. The mounting is all wrong. An IH 2350 sits on round pipes in the rear and rectangular tubes on each side in the front. Your loader sits on flat pads in the rear and the square cross bar in the front.

It IS a "quick attach" loader. Entire loader can be removed from the tractor in a few minutes. Unless you mean for the bucket so you can change out to pallet forks or a grapple quickly.
