[AJD] Loader

[Dean VP]

Karl:

I may be wrong here but I believe the 40 Loader came after the 45.  I have
manuals on both.  I need to get my manual stash out for reference.

Thank you, John!  That's exactly the info I was looking for.  Yes, those 
long rams bend easily.  Mine are a bit crooked also.  I presume the 40 
preceded the 45, which looks like a much more modern design.

I was going to try lowering it on a B frame to see how it fit.  If it was 
designed for a larger tractor, maybe I won't bother.

Loaders are a funny thing.  Handiest attachment there is for working 
tractors, but the bane of collectors, because they are so hard on the 
tractor.

Since you've given me confirmation that it is a JD loader, and given me a 
model number, I should be able to find out a lot more with a little 
searching.  Thanks again!
