Kwik Way loader- auction find
 

Went to an auction today and scored this loader for $225. It is fairly complete except it has no pump and the support beams are wrong. Not really sure what I will do with it yet. Some people at the auction claimed they heard it came off a sears. It may end up on my 682, my Deutz Allis 914 (Simplicity) or I may get a different tractor for it. What do you guys think? Thanks.:biggrin2:

Nice score on the loader!

$225??? You deserve a big "F" word for that! We need a section for award on this forum, the name of this one can be "The most lucky mother flower of the year" and Mr IH Ben got his name all over it for sure!

Well done :censored: :biggrin2:

Nice find, I like how it fits in your truck.

Go buy a lottery ticket. You are a lucky son of a gun! Congrats!

Thanks for the replies guys, I am pretty happy with the deal.:biggrin2: I looked up the model number and confirmed it was originally a sears. Under normal circumstances, I would look for a sears tractor to put it on, but it looks like someone started modifying it to fit a high wheel Case tractor and never finished (there was a Case 444 at the auction too) I was thinking a 129 or 1250 would be a good candidate. They are usually pretty cheap, hydro and I wouldn't need the hydro lift or big engine of other models:bigthink:

easy solution/ I'll come n get it, I have a 129 that could use that on it.... :bash2:

Nice score! Congrats on the FEL.

Wow awesome score!

You did well on that one, I don't know about now, but Kwikway used to be great to deal with on parts if you don't have the means to build what you need at home. Good luck.

I think you lucked out! Congratzzzzzz

Thanks everyone, Does anyone know how tall the support posts for the loader arms are supposed to be? The PO removed the originals and made shortened ones for the high wheel case:bash2: Thanks.

I can measure mine tomorrow if you can wait that long

Thanks, I would appreciate that. It is no hurry.

This is off a Johnson FEL and maybe a little shorter than a kwikway. For some reason my iPod will only allow me to post one pic per post.

I measured from the bottom of the post, (top of the rear mount) to the top of the post.

Thanks for the dimensions Jumper. They should be helpful. I would still be interested in seeing the Kwik Way dimensions if anyone has them. It is no hurry, I won't get around to it until after I finish my truck.
