BF900 loader support legs

[henryg]

Hi all,

I have recently acquired an L4150 tractor with BF900 loader.

I'm planning to remove the loader but I'm missing the support legs which rest across the top of the loader frame (pictured in the attachment).

I'm planning to fabricate some new ones, but could really do with the dimensions/better pictures. Can anyone help with this? It looks like 12mm flat bar at a guess.



Thanks,

Henry

I have the LA1150A loader which is very similar looking. Do you have the 2 vertical braces in the attached pic? I can get some measurements tomorrow - let me know what you need. Dick B

I would be interested in the dimensions as well.

Attached pdf is measurements for LA1150A stands (need 2 of each part) I looked at the illustrated parts lists and the part numbers do not match the BF900's - but the dimensions should be ok since the tractors the two loaders fit have the same chassis.

It's possible the 1/2" x 3" members are thinner on the BF900 - but lengths should be the same. Hope this helps. Dick B

Thanks for that....I am also missing the two pieces that store on the pins right in front of the operator. Or is the 42 1/4" piece those?

Yes, the 1/2 x 3 x 42-1/4 pieces are stored there - are your two pins spaced at 40-1/4" ?

That's fantastic - thanks for taking the time to do this Dick, very much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the 1/2" members you mention are indeed the same thickness on the BF900.

Fortunately I have the vertical bars from your picture.

Regards,

Henry

I will measure them later today.

40 1/8"...I suppose 40 1/4" could be a good number.

Good that you posted - my LA1150 is 40-1/4" but if your BF900 is 40-1/8", maybe others are too. Best to custom fit new support legs to your actual pins.

It was my experience on L2550DT, that if you applied downward pressure on the bucket...that dimension varies a bit.

But yeah, I'll drill them in the correct position.
