Anyone have a Johnson Workhorse loader?

Recommended Posts

I have a Johnson Workhorse Model 10 loader on my D-160.  It appears to be missing a few parts related to tilting the bucket.  The cylinder is attached directly to the lifting frame and going directly to the bucket leaving it only a small amount of forward or backward tilt.

From the pictures I have seen there should be a frame to hold the cylinder that attaches to the lift frame and the bucket and scissors forward when the cylinder is pressurized giving it a larger range of movement. 

I could make my own parts to get full functionality out of the bucket but it would be enormously helpful if someone with one of these loaders can give me a few good pictures and dimensions of the parts.

As it is the bucket does not tilt far enough forward to dump dirt though loose gravel might slide out slowly.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

That is it exactly. His photos have the right angles to show the important details. If I could get some dimensions it would be easy to replicate.

Here is how mine is currently setup. It looks like the cylinder was replaced with a short one but I can take care ofthat if iI can build the rest of what is missing.
