Home built unit.

I came across this on Kijiji. It's about as basic as it gets but he was asking $1,850.00 for it! :shocked: I'm sure he would negotiate a better price though.
From the ad:

It's a one of a kind... unique...rear end loader truck! Operator in the pictures does not come with the loader.
Hi I have for sale a 1970's rear end loader ( 61 inch wide bucket) with a Chrysler 318 or 360 (no one I asked seems to know for sure). It's an automatic 4x4 with disc brakes all around.
I bought it for snow removal in our back alley in order to move a trailer in or out at a moment's notice.
Reason for selling.....I grew to love it but it's a tad big for a small city lot and I no longer need to get a trailer in and out. I hate to sell it because it is useful and fun but I don't really have a use for it.
The good:
Rebuilt the carb, replaced the front disc brakes and a couple of the hydraulic hoses.
It doesn't use tractor tires just 15 inch truck tires
It's fast when you need to move it from point a to point b
Strong well-built bucket
Gas engine for winter
With the bucket on the back, you can easily put a snow blower or blade on the front......
The bucket on the back is offset by the weight of the engine in the front....
The Different:
It is very different as my wife would say it's ugly....
Okay so it isn't an ornament you would use for your front yard but I am sure a creative eye and some well-placed tin could remedy a lot if you want it pretty. For me it was all about the work it could do!
In order to operate it, you need to swivel the seat sideways. It takes a few minutes to get used to it but once you do it works fine. You also get a better view of where the bucket is. And it is a lot of fun!
