Thanks John
So was the 22 really a replacement for the 2H? I guess they overlapped and then there was a 12 as well. All rear drive Ford based machines.
Hope you are well

Re: Weatherill
Hi everyone!
Here are some pics of my Weatherill 42-H loader...
That's how i bought it at a farm in Lower Austria - it was a bit dirty, but the engine and the functions worked very well! The only things, that didn't work, were the brakes...

My employers truck braught it to the shop for fixing the brakes:

Then they fixed the brakes and the loader was moved to my hometown, where i can keep it:

Arrived at it's new home, we mounted the cabin and then had a few months break over the winter
