Johnson 24 Loader Followed Me Home.......
 

I've been wanting a loader for a while. Recently I was contacted by a forum member ccpullin who offered me a trade proposition. He offered a Johnson 24 loader in trade for my stuff. I ended up buying some more items from his inventory.
A friend and I drove to Des Moines, Iowa Friday and made the trade.
I got the loader and Dave received the Haban blades I had.
I'm very happy with the loader, it shows very little wear and is in great shape.
881 miles later, the loader is now in my shop. I'm going to have to do quite a bit of modification to mount it on a Super.
The pictures show the main frame. The bucket is still on my trailer.
The best part of the trip was being able to meet another forum member. Dave is a great guy!
Thanks Dave for your hospitality.

Nice find, wow, 881 miles round trip? Seems to far for me.:biggrin2:

Nice... :beerchug:

All boils down to how bad you want something. :BlahBlah:

Congrats Tim! Looks great!

That's about my round trip mileage when I snagged my 1512. :bigeyes:

Yep, I totally agree. :biggrin2:

Yep, nice loader! You passed about 20 miles south of my place while jetting down I 80 in Iowa. Good thing you went Friday and not today. I 80 was terrible with snow/ice. Congrats again on the loader. Will look great on a Super. :beerchug:

I would have done it!:biggrin2:

Hey you weren't kiddin', Tim!
That's a clean loader!
I don't see any excessive weathering, or pitting.

That one appears to be a prime candidate for powdercoating.
