CA Henderson loader

Yesterday I purchased a loader from a member of this site, Rog NCWI, who lives just a few miles away :) Its a Henderson loader serial number "8" or "B" (hard to tell...if it's "B" that is stamped backwards and twice on top of itself). It appears all factory. Has some stenciling that says "allis ca" on the tube frame. The Henderson dark reddish paint looks original too.

Has the manure bucket and a factory snow plow/grader blade.

Roger never got around to mounting it on his CA. Guy he bought it from years ago had it mounted on his CA though.

Every thing appears to be there: brackets that go from bell housing to attachment points under radiator, hydraulic cylinders, other framework that goes over the top (I think), etc. Only thing we know it's missing is the trip lever handle. May be some other stuff though. Not sure.

Looking for more info you all may have on the CA specific Henderson loader. Only can find mention that one was made for the CA. Not much else out there. Wondering if there are provisions/brackets that go back to the final drives or if these Henderson's had all the weight on the mounting bracket from bell housing to under radiator mount point?

When I get things out of the trailer and laid out nicely I'll post some pics. :)

Thanks!

I have one I took off a CA that I never re mounted on anything. It does not have the round pipe frame though. I was going to mount it on one of my B's I think mine mounted on the foot bar rather than the bell housing. Not sure of that until I look again. I have it scattered all over now. I don't have the bucket.

Yeah Steve this thing will also be on compost duty. That and re-heaping the kids sand pile :) Its main job will be snow removal though. Sure will find other good uses too! Never had a loader of my own to play with. Excited to have another option to a shovel!

Dick, do you remember what setting you had your hydraulic pump set at?

The ca manual shows 3 options. "Delayed lift", "hold position", and "draw bar control". I'm thinking "hold" is the one for the loader as it's the only one that mentions a "remote ram". Obviously not "delayed lift". Will my tractors rams also move up and down at the same time as the loaders rams?

It would be nice to have the back blade on too for weight and more snow removal options come winter. Do I need to put in some sort of diverter valve in order to use that as well?

Wish I had a CA specific manual for this loader if one exists!

let me do some looking when I get home, I have pdf's of every allis chalmers Henderson loader manual.

I have 2 Allis built trip bucket loaders that fit a CA for sale if anyone is looking.
