- APRIL 2005 - 1965 Cobey Front Loader This early front loader built by Perfection-Cobey Co. of Galion, Ohio, is a good example of the old "suicide arm" forks common to designs of the 1950's and early 1960's. The arms passed directly by the operator and passenger doors of the truck cab during the hoisting operation, a hazard to both men and equipment. 4/2/05 © 2005 Eric Voytko All Rights Reserved Photos from factory brochures/advertisements except as noted Logos shown are the trademarks of respective manufacturers
