UPDATED: Unusual Jeep Loader Attachment

UPDATE II: To me, this looks like a Scheneker All Purpose Loader. Here is the brochure for comparison:

This was posted as part of an article on loaders from FarmCollector.com

UPDATE: Two years ago Charles shared a photo showing an unusual loader attachment on a jeep (see the photo below the updated post). At the time, a reader named Chris commented that he had the same attachment. Over the subsequent couple of years Chris has worked to turn his attachment into a working unit. He has completed the rebuild in time to showcase it at this weekend's Willys Picnic. Here'a s sneak peak. We are still looking for information on this loader!

(ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED DEC 19, 2014) The other day Charles shared some pics of unusual jeeps. One photo (seen below) showed a CJ-2A with a rare style of loader / bucket attachment. Chris spotted that photo and mentioned he owned one just like it, but didn't know who made it or any history behind it.  Does anyone recognize this?

Here is Chris' loader as of Dec 2014. The first three pictures of the main structure and bucket. Note: missing from the pictures are the rear stabilizers and the base plate( they are at another location).

Overview of parts:

Bumper brackets. These mount to the bumper or frame(not sure yet) and push against the back of the bucket for heavy pushing/digging

The only part that I know I'm missing is the bracket that mounts to the rear bumper to attach the stablizers.

Some general dimensions;

Bucket- 40"
Overall width (rear) 60"
Overall height 60"
Cylinder length 48"

    Dave check on late 40's/early 50's Ford tractors and I believe you'll find the builder of this crafty bucket. Possibly some ads with photos of this system too. I know those early Fords had an almost identical setup. Good luck.
