I have a L2350 tractor that I am trying to find a loader for preferably used but they are hard to come by. The 2350 calls for a L450s loader and the LB552 loader was for a L4300. Im thinking it is probably too big for my tractor but specs on the loaders are similar. The reason for the question is I have found a used LB552 loader at a reasonable price. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.
Will LB552 loader work on a L2350tractor

Easy answer is no it won't work not unless you want to do some serious alterations to it.
Reason being is that your L2350, (Smallest in the same series as my L3450), #1 won't handle the weight and load of that big of a loader.
But more importantly it won't handle the way it hooks up to the tractor.
The L450 used a sub-frame and front attachment mount to reinforce the frame, the LB552 does not use a front attachment and would put an extreme amount of force on your bell housing to motor to frame connections.
I looked high and low for a loader for my L3450 and ended up finding a Woods 1016 loader and have been very impressed with the design and quality.
There are several aftermarket loader options that are available, problem is you will need to find one with the right attachment brackets.
Where as a Woods 1012 loader fits your tractor great, you would just need to find the brackets to fit your tractor model.
