The name of this loader?

Who has the sharp eyes, or does somebody just identify the loader of the picture.

Is it a Schaeffer ?

I think its a Michigan but dont know the model and looks like some sort of buffer on the front for pushing rather than the normal loader arms & bucket.

Well... the loader has same kind of lower arms like in 50- early -60s Michigan loaders, but the shape of the upper arm looks different. There also seem to be the name in loader, which starts with "S"...?

I really don't know the name. It would help, if even know the decade it has manufactured, but no.

I didn't found pictures about 50-60s Shaffer- loaders, so it is hard to compare.

By the layout of the arms and general shape it looks like a early 60s design with a fair old lump in it.

Edit you can't see a lift or crowd ram?

Hi Dave
I think its from the Clark/Yale/Michigan stable too.
Looks as though the main arms are fixed, (no rams), and a buffer on the back too.
Must be a shunter conversion??
