1630 Loader Bucket Questions

[alanjd93]

Hi,

I recently picked up a B7100HST-D with 1630 loader like this one, and was wondering if someone could enlighten me on these three appendages are on either end of the bucket. Captive pin (top left), a threaded tab with coinciding hole on the vertical wall (bottom), and the loop on the vertical side of the bucket (top right). Planning on welding a couple chain hooks in line with the loader arms like the one pictured, but in the meantime was curious if anyone knew what the function of these were.

Thanks!

The pin on top held the parking bars that are missing,
The pocket on the side are for the parking bars.
The parking barks are to remove the loader from the tractor.
The hole and welded nut were for options that pinned to the loader, like manure forks.

Those attachment points are for brackets (usually clipped under the steering wheel holding the top of the towers in place). The foot of the bracket goes on the ground. The angled, threaded "bolt' that goes in the lower front of the loader mount is used on each side to hold the other end of the brace to the loader. When detached this supports the loader.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Interesting... would a 1630 have come with a kickstand/parking bars? I know the 1640/1640A are quick detach, but as far as I'm aware mine is rigid mount. They seem to share a lot of components otherwise.
Might shell out for a manual, can't find a pdf online. Would be interesting to see what other pin-on accessories were available. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to find any, but might at least give some inspiration for home-made attachments.

Based on my oersonal experience the B1630 was not detachable and the bucket did not have any of that. The B1640 was the derachable model.
