Identifying loader on Ford 881 Powermaster

[kymetro9999]

Hi folks, I just traded a truck for this 1959 model 881, Select-O-Speed diesel.

I'm trying to find information about the loader itself. No tags or markings. By its shape it looks like a later model Ford, but I haven't found a matching photo anywhere online. Hoping some of you can help me ID this so I can find parts for it.

Since nobody has answered ... that's a
toughie. Looks similar in design to a
Ford 730 but that's not what it is. I
looked at pictures of most common third-
party brands but, like you, couldn't find
a positive match. I guess you could take
some better pictures including front and
post to the more general Tractor Talk and
see what happens. In a way it doesn't
matter practically, you are left to your
own creativity fixing an old loader,
manufacturer parts likey not available.
Model would be nice for cylinder packing
kits but can get around that by
disassembling cylinder and matching seals.

That one looks a lot like this one:

More specifically, it appears to be a massey 236 loader. Don't take my word for it, though.

From just those two photos, it looks a bit like the Schwartz loader on my Ferguson TO-20. I'd like to see it from the front though.
