JD 24 skid loader

[Anonymous-0]

Anyone own one ? Was at the local tractor salvage place today and spotted this little loader in the line.
Tag says JD 24, manufactured for John Deere.
I have owned a 17 series Case skid loader for years and noticed the driveline and drive clutches were almost identical to my old Case.
I read that Case bought a skid loader company to get into the business, and that the old 1537 ? series Case was part of that buy up, with it's Wisconsin air cooled engine, three shaft gear box and steering clutches were so similar to this little JD 24 that it cant be a coincidence. anyone know any of the history of those two skid loader lines. ?? TIA.

They were built by Owatonna Manufacturing and sold by JD and others to include Case. Also sold by JD in green as a 170 by Ag dealers. Now believe parts are from Austoff Inc at 507 451 7112.

Where is the salvage yard? Did the machine have a cage? Roll guard?
