Thanks for your info on the 2-44LL. The loader has a symbol on the front arms that look like a circle with an M or W inside of it(depends which way you look at it). Curiously, the SAME symbol appears on the support arms of my MF220 backhoe (at least that's the closest I can identify the hoe with vertical feet) that I have mounted on the 2-44LL. Were these merely third party-made attachments that were made by the same company?? (maybe Ware??). I'd like to find more info on the 588 loader as well as how the 513 hoe compares with the MF220 (circa 1945?)
Any further info would be appreciated
Thanks

PS My whole unit was painted and decaled as a Cockshutt 550 and when I re-did it last year I discovered green and yellow base paint on the loader (maybe industrial??). The tractor body was red base throughout except the  rear hubs were oliver yellow. It does have the solid front axle like the industrial unit.
