Old guy here. Worked my way through college in construction running among other things, a Ford 840-41?loader backhoe that had a driving front axle. It was an aftermarket item and I'm trying to think of the brand. Eranco? Elanco? Aranco? ring any bells? Powered by shaft that came off left side of transmission case, then driveshaft went along left side under clutch footboard. Little sucker would work! This was back in early-mid 60's when there was no such thing a a 4WD factory loader backhoe other than the huge Dyna-Hoes.

Anyone have any recollection of these?

ELENCO front driving axle.

Edit...

Here's one I saw in April at a tractor show.
