Hi.  I am looking a purchasing a CA with loader.  The loader has long manure forks attached to the bucket.  However, I am more likely to use the tractor for moving dirt and gravel.  

I've tried searching for a plate or adapter to cover the forks somehow and allow the bucket to be used for materials, but I can't seem to find such a thing.  It looks like there is something similar to what I need in the third image on this page, https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/threads/what-loader-are-these-for.1755672/" rel="nofollow - https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/threads/what-loader-are-these-for.1755672/ but the poster provided no info, or even the name of such a device!

Is there a decent solution for this problem, or should I look elsewhere for a loader with a different bucket.

Many thanks.

Post a picture of your loader bucket, will make things a lot clearer.  1 solution us to just get a proper dirt bucket for your loader.  Another would be to leave the forks on and have a welder fab up a removable plate that covers most of the tines, leaving just a few inches of the tips exposed at teeth.

Welcome to the forum...Thumbs Up

50 years ago you could of bought my fathers CA as it had the loader with plate as you describe! It was a plate of steel with holes for the forks to go thru. It was AC Stock.

It shouldn't be difficult to fabricate one. Though I recall my father never took it off as a slight bending of the forks made it difficult to be "easy on- easy off".

That bucket is not an original Allis CA loader bucket, a Model 8.

Allis had a 'Dirt Plate' available that slid over the Tines to create a Dirt Bucket.

There was also a Snow Bucket available that included a longer bottom Plate and also Plate Sides.
