As per internet info:

The SELF Mfg. Co. was a well-known local manufacturer of farm and tractor implements based at 247 Third Avenue S., Twin Falls, Idaho. They produced the SELF rear-mounted manure loader in the mid-20th century, a popular implement designed to attach to the 3-point hitch and PTO system of vintage tractors. [1, 2]

Overview of the SELF Rear-Mounted Loader

• Design: These implements were back-acting or "sweep" style loaders. They featured a heavy-duty bucket or grapple that rested on the ground at the rear of the tractor. [1, 2]
• Operation: To load, the tractor would back into the manure pile, the bucket would scoop the material, and it would then be hoisted using hydraulic cylinders and pulleys to dump it over a trailing manure spreader. [1]
• Tractor Compatibility: These loaders were largely built to pair with popular utility tractors of the era, such as vintage Ford, Farmall, and Allis-Chalmers models. [1, 2]
• Era of Production: Most SELF manure loaders were manufactured in the 1950s and 1960s, before front-end loaders became the industry standa
