I guess you are right about the loading docks. Of the five dealers in this area, I know that three had docks. Only one dealer had a IH designed building and he eventually converted the dock to parts storage in the late '60s. The two without docks may have had something like a car lift to load tractors. All but one of those five dealers are out of business.

Back when I was using the KB-5 alot, I also dug a "dock" into a hill on our property. I only had one tractor then but it never left the property. Used the dock to drag stuff off the truck. This was forty years ago. Fork-lifts have made alot of docks obsolete.

It seems like I will need to build a "roll-back" or "slide-back". I have a long double acting cylinder out of a rubbish packer that I could use. When it slides back far enough, the body will tilt. I will probably use the hydraulic winch for loading as well. I am doing alot of "pipe-dreaming" at the moment.
