Home-Built Loader Tractor
I built this loader tractor almost 60 years ago and still use it regularly. It’s built on the chassis of an old Farmer’s Union No. 3 tractor. Power is provided by a Dodge slant six engine with an automatic transmission, and the drive axle is a modified planetary axle off a Gleaner C3 combine.  The power brakes came off a Chevrolet pickup.
    The tractor has two steering wheels with a swivel seat - which I need because of a neck injury - so I can face either way to drive it. The loader is a Farmhand F11. (Ray Swenson, Swenson Feed Farm, 29667 State Hwy. 92 S.E., Brooks, Minn. 56715 ph 218 796-5285)
