[AT] Cub forklift?

[Mike Sloane]

Amazing! While they mostly made stuff for Sears Roebuck, David Bradly 
produced a lot of after market implements for all kinds of tractors, 
including wide front ends and other similar things. But I have never 
seen anything like that fork lift. It appears that it is designed to be 
bolted to both the main front casting and the front axle, and I can 
imagine that steering would have been difficult with any kind of load at 
all, unless there was also a pretty big counterweight on the back. It 
appears that it has its own hydraulic pump and reservoir, which is 
probably a Good Thing, as it would have been hard of the little Cub 
pump. Did you also get the forks? It is an interesting conversation 
piece, but I wouldn't want to actually use it for any heavy lifting. 
Thanks for sharing!

War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to
stifle the voice of conscience within themselves.
