I was wondering if anyone new what kind of loader this is. I believe it's a New Idea but, I don't know the model number. Below is the only photo I have of it. Thanks

A picture of the entire loader might get a hit.

From what I can see it may be a Paulson.

New Idea colors for sure and in that era it seemed AC and New Idea were joined at the hip. Nice looking WD 45 with a wide front end. Looks like the bucket may be a manual trip which was common of that era since there are no hoses heading in direction in the photo that I saw.
