Danco loader

Recommended Posts

I just picked up this Danco loader it is a model RD-1075 modified to fit a Wheel Horse. The proper loader would have been a WH-1075 I THINK???? Does anyone know If this loader is similar in size and weight to the Danco WH-400 used on the 701-702 style tractors? The biggest difference I see is the bucket has a hydraulic tip  instead of the manual trip bucket. Also the pump has been mounted on the right side of the tractor and runs off the PTO there. I assume the pump is directional and must turn in its current direction so I wouldnt be able to mount it in the correct location in front of the tractor, (again I am unsure of this too) My plans are to mount the loader on either a 702 or 753 if it will fit and isnt to heavy since the 753 has a stronger front axle I am leaning towards it. OR possibly find a 1075 and mount it on that since It would fit better on a short frame and it moves nicely now on the smooth motion of ELECTRO 12 HYDRO

 

Does anyone have any input or ideas as to what may be a good candidate tractor. If you look at the pics you will notice that with a long frame tractor the loader frame rest on the front tires when all the way down.

 

I would also like pic of the proper mounting of a Danco loader on a wheel horse if anyone has any it would be appreciated.

 

I am thinking of building the loader around a frame, Tranny and front axle combo with beefed up spindles  if needed and basically start from scratch. I will post some better pics of the way its currently mounted later.

I had one on a Cub Cadet and have pics of that, but the loader was a little different also. I can post some pics of that if you think it would help for your install? Just let me know.

Yes please post some pics anything will help. I am really leaning towards putting the Danco on a 753 and possibly adding a high low tranny. Time will tell. It also depends on what parts I come across.

I'd love to find one of those light-weight little loaders for doing mulch duty around the place.  That is a nice find.  You just don't see to many of the old Danco loaders.

 

It does look similar to this WH400 loader.  These are some Jacktown show pictures that I think Buzz posted several years ago.
