Re: On the funny side of the street
Looking at the height of the frame off the ground, I'm thinking it's a 44X series machine. Maybe even a 4000 series. It's hard to say.

Wow that’s sketchy, even by my standards! but I guess at least there is some good scrap left over!thebuildist wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 1:56 pm On my Facebook feed today.
The poor thing never stood a chance.

@DavidBarkey I don’t know how popular they were, but International offered a one arm loader for the Cub and I think the model A Farmalls. It makes sense on these tractors because they are offset, what they called “Cultavision”. The driver sits to the right of the tractor so they can see the rows easily when cultivating. Having said that I’m not sure why someone would want that on a normal inline tractor. To your point two arms are better than one.

Please don't take this as a political anecdote. But I want some of those bushings for my 644, nonetheless I cannot afford them.

...that's what happens when you restrict the use of Chinaesium alloys and have to substitute good old fashioned American Unobtainium instead...

Re: On the funny side of the street
On a different note... those mono boom loaders on the offset IH "Cultavision" farm tractors are interesting, I hadn't seen them before.
JCB also makes a mono boom on their "Robot" series of skid steer loaders. That could be a plus in a skid steer, giving better visibility on the LH side, but the engineering involved... I don't know, still seems more common sense to just have a pair of loader arms...'68 Case 195, '84 Case 446, '88 Ingersoll 222 - and 1965 Case 530ck (fullsize backhoe)

Re: On the funny side of the street
Haha, thank you @FUTZ . Good as it may be, the asymmetry rubs me the wrong way. I'd be horrified to push it a little harder too. But surely someone out there appreciates it and doesn't perpetually have the feeling that it's just an "unfinished" project. Talk about cutting corners, eh?
