Hi all,
I recently purchased a B7800 HSD Tractor, but the previous owner had purchased only a front mounted snowblower attachment. I did not purchase the snowblower attachment as I knew I would get more use from a front end loader.
The LA402 loaders are very rare, however I did find a LA534 loader locally at a very reasonable price.
My question is would it be possible to modify or adapt the LA534 brackets to fit onto the B7800HSD frame? Has anyone here done something similar with their tractor/loader combination. I’ve heard some forum members have built their loader from scratch, but my fabrication work is limited to getting heavy plate sheared and welded at a local shop. I have a metal machine lathe, a 10” drill press and a 20 ton press in my shop. Working on my tractor is just as much fun as operating it!
Thank you in advance for any advice you can share.
Work safely!
L.O.T.
