Wondering if I can get some assistance in identifying this tractoloader and hopefully a rough idea of the year. There is a plate on it that states Construction Equipment Canada Ltd. Serial no. 568. It has a slide canopy (it's off right now) which I haven't seen on any of the photos I've found so far... It had a Buda 4 cylinder diesel engine in it at one time. Hubby is now kicking himself for having the GM gas engine put in. He'd like to put a diesel back in... Was running about 5 years ago but not anymore. Check out the pics and give me some ideas. I do have photos of some of the castings numbers if that helps. No comments on it's condition, I'm not responsible for the state it is in!  uploads/17468/Allis_Chalmers_plate.jpg" rel="nofollow - uploads/17468/Allis_Chalmers_plate.jpg uploads/17468/AC_TL.jpg" rel="nofollow - uploads/17468/AC_TL.jpg

| Badging and sheet metal looks like a tl20, that's my guess... |

I was looking at this thread http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/tl-20_topic105818.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/tl-20_topic105818.html and it mentioned a 4 cylinder diesel 4DI-344 as '57-'58. '59 production year went to the 6 cylinder D-516. Hubby definitely mentioned the 4 cylinder Buda. Any numbers on the body that would be an indicator?

Definitely a snow-moving monster!
