Front end loader. Davis Western. I have the rest of it sitting here. Light weight.

I probably hauled a dozen of them to the scrap yard in the past 30+ years.

WOW, I agree it looks like a loader frame, but if it has anything to do with Davis, it must be their crudest pre-production model!

Look at the welds.

I've previously owned 2 Davis loaders, plus the one still I own, and they are so nicely made, with such a MODERN design and finished appearance they could pass for 30 to 40 years "younger" than their actual age.

Did Davis actually make something THAT crude, originally?

Is this the one the guy wanted $10,000 for?

Yeah, that wiring is something. A few lug nuts short too.

Looks like some dummy without a diagram was trying to figure how to wire it.

I thought it was in the thousands that you've hauled to scrap (?).
