Hi Ruglayr,
Thank you for the lead on a LA402 loader. I checked on the Tractor House site but could not find it. I will look again tonight...maybe I missed it.

That is a very good price for the LA402 loader. Unfortunately, it does not include the mounting frames and subframe.
I located and purchased a LA534 loader locally for CDN $2000 less the bucket which I bought from Ginop Sales in Alanson MI. All I need to complete the installation is the Subframe for my B7800. I may try to fabricate my own subframe to adapt the LA534 to my B7800 this spring.
Thanks,

I went thru the same thing. I finally found a complete 402 for sale. The sub frame for the 7800 is 1 piece. I bet there is one laying around a dealers warehouse they would be glad to part with. I got a backhoe subframe for mine for 200 in the crate. Took months of searching but it was out there. It might be worth looking into the cost for the correct frame and try to get a better price from.the craigslist post. Fabrication can get expensive

As you suggested, I will post additional requests for a subframe for my B7800. The subframe is basically two plates that run along side and extends slightly below the tractor mainframe, with a plate welded across the front of the subframe. There are no reinforcements running to the rear axle. If I can find one to buy, I’ll go that route as I dont have a welder that is capable of welding 3/8” plate.

It goes across the tractor side to side. It is quite heavy and and well built. Go to messicks kubota and sign up for on line account. It let's you view the parts diagrams. that subframe is $ 875

Hi Ruglayr,
As you suggested, I called the person with the LA402 Loader in Craigslist Penn State and closed a deal to buy the LA402 loader complete with mainframe. Thanks for forwarding the info to me.

You got a great deal that loader looked new. He is going to need 2 plates to put back on tractor after loader frame is removed. They are important for strength. I have them and would be glad to give them to him for the postage charge. I'm a little closer than you. You're going to need adapter for hydraulic line hookup off the pump also

Hi Ruglayr
Thank you for your kind offer to provide the mower frame plates, hydraulic block and adaptor. The seller still had the loader subframe installed on his B7800 and since it was in the dealer’s shop for maintenance, he had the loader subframe removed and the other brackets for his mower deck installed. I am looking forward to having a loader on my B7800 so I can take it out of storage and put it to work!
This is a great forum for Kubota owners and thanks to you for the lead on finding a LA402 loader.
