The Log Loader No. 164 would take unloaded logs from one side raise them up by a chain mechanism and load them into a waiting car on the other side. Used with No. 3451 Operating Flat Car or similar, this accessory was a self-contained continuous operation. Available from 1946 until 1950, this loader came with a RED painted BLACK Bakelite roof and a premium is paid today for roofs with few paint chips. The only variation has a GREEN roof.

 This log loader came with its own controller that is illustrated to the right. This controller had a knob to turn on the chain mechanism that would raise the logs and an UNLOAD button to unload them into a car.

Produced in the modern era, this accessory is reputed to be less noisy than this original post-war version.

Dimensions: 10-3/4 inches long, 11-1/4 inches wide, and 9 inches high.
