I am searching for a used loader which fits an Allis 185. Westendorf TA-26 and WL-42 both would work (among others). Westendorf's web site names the 42 as best loader for a 185, so I've searched mainly for that model. There are quite a few used loaders available but haven't found one from a 185 or any Allis Chalmers tractor.

The 185 needs the AC1 mount, and the most common available appear to be IH1 (from a 1066 or 1086). A new mount kit costs over 2k, so hoping to save that expense.

Does anyone have experience converting a Westendorf mount to fit different tractor style?

I think they'll be hard to find. I own 1 of the 2 sets of WL40 &42 for AC180-200 tractor brackets I've ever seen. They're far more solid than the universal brackets that came w/ WL40 loader when got it.

The side plates that bolt to tractor rails and the rear drop plates and square cross bar are very similar to if not identical to what is used on J D 3010 - 4020 series tractors, the front cross plate is different from if for J D.

As it's winter my loader is on the AC200 so won't get pictures of brackets.
