I am looking to purchase a new backhoe for my l3540 (it is not the -3 version).
I would like a bh-92. I called my dealer and he quoted me the backhoe and frame kit. The frame kit he quoted is for a l4701 I don't think it will fit?
I looked up the frame kit on the kubota part site but it only shows the -3 version of my tractor. The frame is the same but hoses are different. ( I compared the frames for the bh77 which list both the l3540 and the l3540-3 and the frames are the same part number).
I contacted a different dealer and he said the bh-92 will only fit on an l3540 with an la805 loader? I have an la724 loader and I don't think an la805 even fits my tractor and I'm not willing to replace my la724.
Can anyone help me identify the correct frame and mount kit for my tractor?
Thanks for any advise!
Andy

Where do i need to look for part numbers? I just purchaced a l3540 with a 724 and bh92 on it. It came with extra arms that the previous owner had no idea what they were for, but they look liked loader mount arms if it did not have a backhoe. Would the numbers happen to be stamped onto the mount arms?

Is yours a l3540-3? mine is the earlier version l3540 (no -3) I went with a different dealer. They are ordering the frame that fits the bh90 (backhoe version prior to the bh92). They would not give me a warranty if I installed it. I think that is b.s. but they are only charging me $350.00 and I get the 2 year warranty with it so the ball is in there court now if its wrong.
If you can find any numbers on the frame I would love to research it
Thanks for your help!!!
