Friend of mine has a loader for a model G and was wondering if he could get $1800.00 for it?

He might..depends on how rare the loader is, if it's an A-C piece,condition of course and if someone really,really HAS to have it !!
Can't believe a G loader would be able to lift much( yeesh no power steering !!) and how someone would use it instead of say a skidsteer or Dingo .
Would be nice to see pictures though... I can always dream.....

Allis didn't make a loader for the "G". The only ones I have ever seen are the MidWest Loader from the Maquoketa Co. I've only seen three or four in all my years of Orange. Lucky enough to have one local to me, that's Herb's. ( picture of his below ) Maybe he'll see this and tell you more.  Herbs -

Wow, that looks really nice, but must be alot of strain on the G! Looks like a lot of loader, for a 10 HP tractor!

It's the 1500# on the front axle and tires that'd make me worry a bit !!

I saw one about 35 years ago at the show in Miles Iowa that had broken the frame in front of the bolted plate. He probably didn't work it so hard after that.

Wow! That's cool....but scary! Just seems to be way to much weight for that little guy to handle. And then, lift the load over your head.....

Many of you may have seen the boom that I made for my G. I was at a tractor once, they used 500 pound concrete blocks for weights for the boat. I lifted one with the boom, just to see if good. It lifted it but didn't try to drive with it in the air, just too heavy for comfort.

Quite some time ago there were pictures of G's with loaders. They were specially re-built to work in and out of freight cars to move equipment.
Good Luck!

I think Freeman also made one for the G. If I were to pay $1500 for a loader I'd want the tractor with it!

The company that produced these loaders was here in the hometown, and eventually became the Clinton Engine facility, and is now a county museum. Seen one that has been shortened with a loader for more compact work, hog facility, etc. Sort of a forerunner of a skid steer.

I see the pictures of the Allis G loader you have posted and I am trying to find one and wondering if you know what salvage yards or people might have them and how I can contact them. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Printed on the loader "MIDWEST; maquoketa co; clinton, ia". I exhibited this G with loader at the Marshalltown, IA G.O.O. in 19??. I arranged a visit with the long retired former manager of the facility in Commanche, IA (suburb of Clinton) that sold these G's with loaders. At that time he lived in Clinton. Years earlier boxcars of dry chemical fertilizer were railed in for corn farmers; off loading was a costly, time consuming problem. Shorten a G was a quick, inexpensive answer. My understanding was that Maquoketa built the loader at their modest, nearby manufacturing facility. This man enjoyed sharing this history; he had a big laugh telling me about one day their sales man started the shortened G without a loader and engaged the clutch and did a wheelie (of several circles there in the showroom) before he got it stopped. David Clausen had a full page article in Old Allis News a couple years ago. I have used this loader to haul woodchips around our church parking lot for several years. It also lifted three stone fenceposts (one at a time) out of our pickup (that came from GGMothers farm near Wilson, KS). Charlie Felgar, previous owner, bought it when some small hybrid seed corn company in Iowa closed. Herb(GA)

Richard in MO. has one of those shorty G's with a loader if I remember correctly. He had pics of it on here when he was restoring it. Cute little thing. I could even get up on that little bugger! I don't think I would want to put a load over the top of ma' head though...

The two books on G implements on my web page on line do not mention such a loader.
