A loader (12) for a spline rolling machine wherein die and mandrel teeth (26,42) mesh with the thinwall sleeve (44) of a power transmission member (30) located therebetween to form splines therein is disclosed as including a loading member (58) with a locator (68) on a rotatable clamp (66) thereof and as including an unloading member (60) having a depression (72) that receives the locator (68) so as to permit clamping of an end wall (46) of the power transmission member (30) in an accurately located relationship while still ensuring disengagement during unloading upon movement of the loading and unloading members (58,60) away from each other at an associated load table (36). The locator (68) preferably has a detachable connection (88) to a housing (78) of the rotatable clamp (66) on the loading member (58), and the unloading member (60) includes a shaft (98) and an enlarged head (100) secured to the shaft by a detachable connection (102,104) in order to facilitate loading and unloading of different size power transmission members by merely replacing the locator and the enlarged head. Clamping surfaces (70,74) on the loading member clamp housing (78) and the enlarged head (100) of the unloading member clamp the power transmission member (30) during the loading and unloading.
