What is this Tractor??

[narampa]

I thought maybe it would be interesting to find out how many people know what this tractor is. Also any Ideas on the loader?
Lets have a little fun and see who is right. I will post the answer at a later date. New people to the tractor world will probably have trouble with this.
Old timers may also.
Let the fun begin:cool2:

Subscribed. I am curious also.

The loader cylinders look MASSIVE for the size of everything else...

It appears to be an old Minneapolis-Moline. Maybe mid 50's vintage.

That somewhat resembles a Leader tractor I had years ago. Name was cast in the front bolster casting. Leader Tractor, Chagrin Falls, Ohio. It had a Hercules 1XB5 engine. THAT I can remember... Where I sat my coffee cup 5 minutes ago, is a whole new adventure...

None the less, maybe look for a tag on the bell housing, fuel tank support, etc. Or. get some part numbers off of a cast piece with description, and do an online search through something like Google.

looks like an L and E showing on the side behind that loader arm, so Leader would be my guess too.

Correct it is a leader. Now for the tough question. What kind of loader is this?

The Loader was built by my brother in law when he was 16 that was back in the 60s. The loader weighs about as much as the tractor.
