Johnson loader?

[1811woody]

Hey guys its been awhile, I hope everyone is doing good these days! Well after all these years of owning my my cubs I have finally found and purchased a frontend loader for my 1872, I'm hoping someone can help me to identify what model it is and hopefully show my some pics of how this is supposed to mount up. I no doubt will have to fab up my brackets but I just dont think I need to reinvent the wheel in doing so any info is greatly apreaciated. The loader is a "Johnson Work Horse"

I once owned a Sears Suburban SS16 with a Johnson work horse 10 on it. It had the wishbone to the rear that clamped onto the axle. Also had the bucket shaped like yours which I prefer to the Kwik Way front end loader round style. This tractor came new from Sears with Johnson FEL. I saw it for sale on the floor at Sears but it was a few years later that I became the second owner of the tractor/loader combo. I regret now that I sold the loader but Sears front spindles were 5/8" and weak for this application. Now that I have a Cub 1872 with 1" spindle and power steering, that loader would be a very good fit.

Of all the things we regret getting rid of my ex is not one of them. lol. my f.e.l. does work great on my 1872 especially since I added the "heal toe" drive for forward and reverse. I just got a 2284 i would rather have it on it though.
