Help! Can anybody I.D my loader

Post by Dexydog64 »

Hi All. Just bought a loader for my Dexta (1958) Was told that the loader was complete but seem to be missing a couple of mounting brackets. Think the loader may be a Horndraulic loader but it has no plate or makers marks. The loader arms are made of box section steel and the bucket has a trip release mechanism. Hope the following photo has uploaded.Hope someone can help and possibly post a photograph of the missing part(s) so tha I can make something suitable.

That does not look like a Ford ( SteelFab, Horndraulic) loader for a Dexta.

Could be one for a later tractor or could be a MIL, Midlands Industries Loader.

Check this E-Bay item for pictures of a Horndraulic loader. Ford and Steelfab were the same loader, badge engineered.

Hi there that is a mill loader I have one that came with a dexta I bought for spares. The part that you're missing has two plates coming off the gearbox and then a pin linking both of the rear loader brackets together. I have the complete setup and was going to scrap it so let me know if you would like the bits. John
