Looks like an ID tag right under the seat, but reasonably sure the loader is a Greenville or ATECO loader, winch is a gearmatic, but can't tell model, RH side plate is homemade.

Could the loader be a Henry? Almost looks identical to the one on dads's 420. The only thing that looks different are the bucket links (cranks?) It would appear that they have been repaired though.

Take a look here

my first impression was a henry too. i seen the tag, never bothered to look at it. i kinda bought it sight unseen through cell pics. for what i paid it was a deal in any capacity. the owner said it was a 40. thought id use it for parts, but dont have the heart to knock it in the head yet. it dose run, i do have the sheet metal for it, none of the castings are broke except for one ear on the clutch housing and been repaired some time ago, still holding. maybe scavenge parts for the winch?? like to remove the loader and replace with a blade. find rails in usable wear?? with pads... repair froze clutch. find top rollers to replace the wood blocks. then use it to pull that lil' sraper ive got... we'll see got enough on the plate for now

Yeah, could be right, ATECO and Greenville are similar to Henry, I can't remember the difference right now, but seems to me it is obvious if I could remember it.
You know you got it bad when you buy a parts crawler, then you have to fix it up cause you can't bear to kill it. Then you need another parts crawler, and the circle continues. :lol:

the plan is for now is too keep an eye out for tracks, would like to remove the loader and replace with a blade find one or build it and kinda would like to fix the winch too.
i'd even consider 350 convertion on this

this project wont take place till at least next spring.

I've got more parts available for the winches now than I used to. Some of them are unfortunately more expensive than I would like, but at least I can get them now.
Seems to me new rail height is 3 1/8", can't find my track gauge right now.

the rails measure a strong 3 1/16 by tape measure. so some are usable.

as far as the winch goes, all parts are MIA. need the break band, slave and related springs and parts. th clutch band or shoe, spider and slave, end plate(maybe fabricate that?) the bango or slew fitting. master control, fab that too?.

lavoy, what do u have for parts? thanks nicknaatz@yahoo.com
