machine in question is powered by a 4-cylinder Continental
gasoline engine. It has a removable ballast box and radiused
loader arms, a three-speed manual transmission, and
hand-controlled steering. Also of interest is the design of the
loader lift cylinders since they have no piston, but just a
collar welded onto the end of a rod to prevent the rod from
leaving the cylinder. Lift is accomplished by volume
displacement and lowering is by gravity the dump is a two-way
cylinder. Tim
Hi Tim... What you have going
by the description and the photo is a US TRAC loader.
The arms where cut off at the cylinders junction and a bucket
from some other machine was grafted on to it. 'Bastardized' is
what I would call it! I will post your photo and see if anybody
knows what the bucket originally belonged to. Ray
