Macgyver 90 #1 Posted November 28, 2016 Hi got a chance to buy a Sears tractor with a Sears loader. Would like to know who made it. The tractor looks about the size of a 520 and has an older 20hp Onan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #2 Posted November 28, 2016 Could be a Kwik-Way, Ark, or homemade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,735 #5 Posted November 28, 2016 They probably all made sub frames to mount on Sears. Need a few . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macgyver 90 #6 Posted November 29, 2016 I found it on a Craig's list ad in my area for $900 tractor & loader. It's not home built and still has the Sears decals on the frame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,406 #8 Posted November 29, 2016 That Sears loader is most likely a Kwik-Way, but there was also a recent thread where someone had a Sears loader made by Simpson. And on a side note... if I had the disposable cash.... that would have been off CL weeks ago. I can't believe it's still sitting there! Go get it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowmobileaddict 403 #9 Posted November 29, 2016 If you're looking at the one in Machesney Park, that is a Kwik-way manufactured loader. They built them for Sears and Roebuck and for the stores in Canada that were partnered with Sears (Simpsons). Like Sears, Simpson's was only the brand and the retailer. They didn't make the loader. Kwik-Way built a machine-specific subframe that adapted their loader to fit many a garden tractor. Then they slapped a Sears or Simpsons tag on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
