Can small loader from Old B fit on a small old L

[coachgeo]

found a good priced loader that appears to be for an older B series cause it is only a 3' bucket and L models had a 4' bucket. (no model number sticker anymore... anyone know if it is stamped anywhere??)

how hard would it be to fit it to an L225? course anything can be fabricated with time and $$$ which is out of reach reality here.


with it being lighter weight in it's lift capacity would it still need brace to rear axle if B series did not use one? That looks most difficult to fab. Appears there is a cross brace .. not sure what that attaches too.... engine or tranny case?

https://www.purplewave.com/auction/120516/item/D3173 is the correct loader for L225.... believe the black brackets in front of bucket in the grass is the rear brace to axle?

No it will not fit, it's too narrow.
And it wouldn't matter what size loader it is you will still need a subframe with axle bars.
The center bottom mounting point is to the bottom of the clutch housing.

yup... posted that only for pictures of the model made to fit the older L's. One I was looking at is for an older B model. Guess I didn't explain that well enough.

If had a garage could see buying the one for the B.... cut the front cross member and weld a new one in to make it wider. take the hydraulic tubes across the front to parker and have a them spliced and a hose slapped between them to make the the proper width to match the new cross member welded in.

course that only makes it wider... would I guess still be too short from front to rear though making it too far forward of where the vertical pads should sit

Buy the loader and find a B series to install it on?

Tried to talk him into selling his B..... but he just swapped to a d950 in her and is in mad love with his renewed gal.

This one is older and did not have mounts..... fellow built the mounts to fit his B7100. Another thread mentions the B6100 is shorter so it won't fit that one..... Being that it is an Older one.... and modified too boot... it probably would take lot more work to fit it to other B's beside 7100.
