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.

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. G https://www.ebay.com/itm/326199764948" rel="nofollow - https://www.ebay.com/itm/326199764948 |

i would not bother trying to make it removable.. Just get the local weld shop to lay a 3/16 inch steel plate on the forks and weld in place... probable a wing on each end.. Not difficult at all. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
