New Idea Horn loader

[Gary Reif]

Interesting information, we've had one on an M Farmall for as long as I can remember. My Dad and Uncle curved those lower arms downward to go over a wide front end, I think they had to extend them a little bit and redo that metal bracing on the top, it worked out real well.

Old post foolery, if you can’t beat em join em!
Here is my Farmall M with what I have always been told was a “Horndraulic” trip loader. In the 60’s and into the 70’s (and I am sure in the 50’s before I was around) it was the only loader we had on the farm with a cow calf herd of 60 or so and some steers and hogs. It was on a Farmall H back then. That poor Farmall made a lot of trips back and forth to load all that manure into two IH 200 spreaders and later an added Kelly Ryan PTO job. I always wondered how tired the guy would have been after completing the same task operating that loader on a hand clutch Deere. I am sure the loading process would have been a lot slower.
(Sorry about the naked engine, that has since been remedied)
Edit: Oops, I didn’t even notice the first pic was when I first mourned it and didn’t even have the cylinders on it. Here it is operational but still a naked engine.)

Well, I guess my ol' man did a really good job of replicating......not bad for a guy who had to quit school after 6th grade!

Nice looking cylinders used red MN. Looks like they are working for you.

That’s still the single stage ones I had. Never took the time to put the on two stagers I got from you. Those pictures are from way before that anyway. Thanks again!
