Wagner Front End Loaders

[Greybeard PA]

Do the old style pipe-frame Wagher loaders still have any value? This one has no cracks or welds, and appears to be very straight. Even has a nice wide hydraulic tilt bucket. It sure is rusty and ugly!

Opinions?

Thanks

A picture would help!

If the pump and cylinders are in good shape, it should still be able to do a lot of work. I believe they made two models. One allowed you to step thru and the other you had to climb over. The latter is what I've got, but other than having to climb on from the back it has been real useful. It's surprising how much better they look with a frest coat of paint. You looking to buy or sell??

Gotta agree.. Pics help. However depending on yer skill with the computer, you could go on eBay and find decent ones here and there anywhere from 350 to 700. Bucket condition, working ability and user freindliness help. If it is a front "slinger shaft" driven loader it is not as convinient or cheap for someone to hook up on a N without the shaft installed and mounts. Know that one from experience, however nothing a good fabricator can't get around.

You should be able to get $350~$500 for it. Cylinders are expensive. If there's a pump that's a big bonus.

I hate having my loader on my 2N because of handling issues but when I need it there's nothing else that I own that can touch it. I recently did the excavating for my daughter's 92-foot concrete driveway and although I heard grumbling from the crew that a bobcat would have been faster, the 2N did the job.

So far as rusty, you can always paint it.

Look on craigslist in your area and see what others are bringing.
