Prentice loader identification

[Rope Monkey]

Any ideas on what model of prentice loader this is. It’s about 13’ center of grapple to center of shaft

No idea myself but I like that it's an older unit like that. Should get the work done and not break the bank.

That’s what I’m hoping for but I do need some parts

Anything that can't be bought can be made. I would just hold myself back from trying to make it look pretty.

Most of the hydraulic should be able to be handled by a local hydraulic shop. Pins and bushings can be done by a machine shop. A good welding shop should be able to install bushing, etc and fix cracks/broken stuff. We have our own machine shop and make pins, etc for our grapple truck. It's really not hard to deal with.
