What headstock is this?

[Dynamite_Matt]

Afternoon,

I dont spose anyone could help to identify this headstock and the loader brackets to suit I need to fit to some new attachments. Sorry bit of a novice with this stuff but im learning.

The eyes on the bucket are 38mm and its 330mm from centre of eye/pin to bottom of the hook/bracket

Trima seems close but the top of the headstock is square most of the loader brackets I see seem to be rounded.

Its an old Case loader, the plate says model O90? fitted on a Case 1494

Looks home made.

Looks home made.

That was a fast reply!

That would explain my issue finding brackets to match then. I'll talk nicely to the local fabricator and hopefully he can knock me up some.

Thank you

Looks a bit similar to Schaeffer mini loaders, they used a box section top bracket but generally only had a single loop at the bottom for a pin.

Gotta be a home brew job I reckon

Put a tine in it , and use it as a bale spike , or sell it as a bale spike .
Buy one of the generic Euro headstocks.
Brackets for implements are cheap , very readily available . And easy to beg or borrow implements from other people .

Thanks for the advice all, I shall go get me a new headstock.

If you have a good welder /fabricator locally , he might be a le to convert that to euro , but chances are that he will charge more than the one size fits all .
Your own one looks a strong well built thing .

It would be worth checking if it’s a quicke no.3 home made adaptor, it looks a similar fit to them brackets.

Luckily he is my neighbour and was round today teaching me how to change a tractor tyre, says he can make it work so I reckons im learning some welding next week, when the euro brackets turn up. Todays bill was 3 cups of tea and some spring onions hopefully were in the same kinda currency for the welding!

I think from memory a 1494 is/was a David Brown tractor painted red and sold by Case after the takeover. Just in case you're looking for other bits anytime.

Yes finding parts listed under david brown and case ih but no shortage. Its definetly red not sure which red we'll order yet, I prefer gloss red she prefers power red, as long as it gets some paint I'll be happy.

If you say they’re very close to Trima then just chop the box section off and swap it for heavy wall tube set at the right distance, job done. Plenty S/H Trima implements about

It's a QD90 loader and as others have said it's a homemade headstock.
