Looking for a loader for my L3450. I know its a long shot, but maybe someone has one sitting around, yes I'm willing to pay shipping costs!
I haven't found one locally, and I mean like within 500 miles! :(

Stock Kubota is a LA650 A This is my preferred loader, I found one but it's on an island in Canada, but I suspect shipping from there will cost me a mint!

Other models that would work are:
Woods LC114
Westendorf TA-111A or TA25
Allied 295 or 2295
Bush Hog 2347QT or 2346QT

Even bent, broken, damaged, or in need of repair will be considered!!!

I thought you just finished building a loader for your tractor?
No, I don't have one for sale.

I did build one for my b7100 and that one works like a charm! I want to get one for my L3450, If I don't find one soon I'll build another for this one too. :D

Good sir, I wish I had skills like you. You should make some money on the great stuff you make!

Thanks,
I've made a little money over the years, I have also saved myself a ton on things I needed for myself.

Score another one for me!!!! :D:p:cool:
Craigs list just paid off for me again!
I got a loader, and also a post hole digger too!
I took my small trailer so I was only able to pick-up the loader today, I'll pick up the post hole digger next Friday.
It's a 1016 Woods loader with a 66" bucket, It's in perfect condition no wear on the pins at all, and like all woods products very well built!
It was on a L3650, so everything I needed was included, bolts, brackets, hoses, and grill guard.
I should be able to get it set up here in the next few days!

After a couple days I got it all bolted on, there are parts of the frame that weigh a ton and they are real fun to get lifted and lined up! :p
I had to rebuild the exhaust as it had a homebrew under the tractor exhaust setup on it, went with aftermarket Muffler as the stock under the hood muffler and pipe would have run $600+ and that to me seamed a bit foolish for an inch of vision on each side of the muffler. :rolleyes:

Everything fit great and after running it for a couple days I'm very happy that I went this route instead of trying to build another, besides I don't think I could have pulled it off for the 2.5K that I paid for this one.
Next I need to get the ROPS (still trying to find one) and LED's, then I'll make a SSQA adapter for the loader. :D

It looks really good. It is nice when things bolt right up. I like that size tractor. Be nice if you find a rops specific for your machine. I too like to find one for my l2550.

Yes it was nice when it just fit without any fight!

After working with it for a week it's really great.

The quick detach is really well designed, I can remove it and reinstall it in about 2 min.
I know it's an older unit, but my hats off to Wood's for making a very fine piece of equipment!
