UPDATE: This was first posted March 20, 2018.
This post began as a reference to a Farm Collector article about Jeep Loaders by Jim Gay. It turns out that there were several loaders that weren’t included. Below you’ll find the most complete list I’ve been able to assemble.
FARM COLLECTOR ARTICLE:
- Baldwin Loader
- Mahl Loader
- Morton Loader
- Schenecker Hydraulic Lift Loader (posted here)
Jeep-A-Loader
- This appears to be a lone surviving example of a Scheneker Loader:
- Unknown Loader (probably custom one-off)
- Tow-Loader
- A 1955 Willys Product Merchandising Manual mentions a Gran Hydraulic Loader. These were rear loaders. More on them soon.
The #6 Brown Jeep with Yellow Loader is also shown in the Dispatcher Magazine Winter 2017-2018 article by Bob Christy (P.30) at his Northeast Ohio Flatfender Gathering.
We have recently been in touch with a second existing MAHL Willys Jeep Loader that is still original family owned. Not much detail yet, but stay tuned for never before seen MAHL goodies.
Glenn, that’s great news!
Also, there is a guy here in Northeast Ohio that has a jeep with another loader on it. I have never seen it but have seen photos. It’s different from the one at my show.
Bob, that may be a TMC Loader. The owner is doing a slow restoration. I’m hoping to gather some more information from him.
