JD loader Identification

[BigBen2ndGen]

Hello, I m trying to identify this JD loader and what models it could possibly fit. I m not sure where to even start. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

There should be a tag on it with a model and serial number on it. Most likely on one of the uprights.

Some closeup photos would help ID loader but I'm nearly 100% sure that loader isn't a JD. Loader in photo is similar to JD model 36 or 46 FEL but not identical.

The boom and cylinders are Deere 36a,46a or 47. The rear part is either home made or another brand. Tom

IMHO boom mount brackets & boom cyl mounts are not similar for JD model 36A or 46A or 47. IMHO Jury is still out on boom! Torque tube appears to be in different locations to me.

Look at key 12 in your bottom pic. That is what I am calling the boom. I have 2 46a's and have had some
47's. The bottom brackets are off something else or home made. Tom

I'm sure it's a JD. I have a 46A,but this one is newer. Looks like the frame/mounts have been modifyed.The front frame should be a closed box. This one has been cut with the drops added.

Here are a few more photos. It very well could be half homemade or not JD at all. I ve crawled all around it, I can t find a vin or model on it anywhere. I think it s been painted at one point. Thanks.

I measured the barrel of the boom cylinder they re 2.5" around.

The tag in photo clarifies some things. I was unaware JD had a factory in Winnepeg, Manitoba

It's not a JD loader, so really a moot point. Possibly someone began with some part(s) of a JD loader- or just put some stickers on whatever. If you're hoping to find seals or other hydraulic parts, you're best off taking the old parts to someone specializing in hyd. parts. If you're thinking of buying it, don't. A scale will tell you what it's worth.

If you can get it for less than scrap and you don't mind some aggravation, then go for it.

The boom and lift cylinders are Deere the mounting frame reminds me of a Kelly loader. The bucket cylinders
are an aftermarket replacement for the Deere ones. I have a 46A with the same replacement bucket cylinders.

The only thing for sure is it fits whatever model tractor it was removed from.

On a homemade loader you would not typically see bent tubing for hydraulic lines. At least the boom appears to be factory made. There are definitely modifications to the framework. Some of it is factory but other parts were added on.

Deer 36A with modified mounting frame brackets, no?

Possibly a 46A.
