Grey fergy with big loader

has anyone ever seen a grey fergy with big trip loader where the frame fits over the rear axle and the hydraulic arms removed for the counter balance weight also the independent brake pedals were also removed .. the lift rams were substantial
The reason I am asking is that my uncle had this tractor which he bought in the 60's for
£30 and he had many years use of it , I don't think it was scrapped.. I have asked fergy experts without success so it's
got to be rare.. I know there was several makes of loader based on major tractors
If anyone thinks it's a banana loader , completely wrong this is a lot bigger

If you're on Faceache I can put you in contact with some Ferguson Club bods who'd know, also there is a very good Fergie page on FB too, some avid collectors who know their stuff along with current prices etc.
@TrickyT do you know anything about this, you're the Ferguson Cult Member!

The only loaders I know of for a Fergie are the 'Banana Loader' and Mil loader.

As for the hydraulic arms being removed, this seems a bit strange as for the hydraulics to work the loader, they need to be 'locked off' just before the fully raised position with a T-bar.

Sounds a bit 'Heath Robinson' to me.

As @MrNoo wrote, a post in one of the Fergie pages on Facebook would be your best bet.

My father had a T20 with a Greys of Fetterangus loader. You could use it as a conventional front loader or mount it over the axle and use it as a rear loader. The only loader I know that fitted like the op said is a Farmhand but I would have thought that it would be way too large for a T20.

We had a T20 with a rear axle mounted loader [not a banana loader]
I can't remember if indy brakes were removed but the rear linkage arms were there
We only bought it to sell on but did use it to move stuff around a bit which was quite unnerving as the loader would move from side to side and the whole thing didn't seem that stable with no weight on the back
It was a big old thing, bigger than a banana loader [we had one of them as well] but I can't remember the make, it wasn't a mil, the only name that comes to mind is Horn-draulic

Dad had a fergie with a big loader on it, long tube from the front to the back axle of the tractor then an A frame upright with 2 holes at the top. Top 1 had a bar down to the loader which was attached at about the rad. length to the loader. Underneath that the rams were fitted to the front/back tube and pushed back to the A frame and they were long buggers. Loader was attached at the bracket on the back axle. 3 point hitch was left alone.
