[AT] Identify Loader/Value

[Bill Bruer]

Your loader is a Paulson, what they now call their lightweight model.  See 
http://www.paulsonloaders.com/index.htm

I have the same loader on an IH 464.  The loader has taken a lot of abuse - 
from the previous owner, of course.  It's still solid with no welds on the 
frame though the bucket is in bad shape.  As long as you can get along with 
gravity down & mechanical trip and don't mind keeping it mounted up all the 
time it is a solid unit.

My dad has acquired this Allis WD-45 (1953 or 54) in trade for some work on 
another WD-45. One of the things is to swap the wide front from this tractor 
with the narrow on the other as the owner wants the wide front on his.

We can't find any tags on the loader and wondering if it's possible to tell 
who may have made it by looking (Dad thinks the loader on the other WD-45 is 
a New Idea). Also since we have a skid loader and a John Deere 2640 with 
loader we're not too sure if we want to keep the loader. Is there any market 
for these? It's in as good of shape as I've seen for the age but not sure if 
anyone would be looking for such things and if so what might be a fair 
price?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Brad

PS I was going to take pictures of the power steering to see if anyone knew 
if it was Allis, Char-Lyne, etc. but I forgot. Maybe I'll get over there 
later and get some more pictures.
