Not long ago I caused a lot of damage to my LA 435 loader trying to reattach it to my B2601 tractor. The dealer replaced a number of bent parts. Since then I have been gunshy to remove the loader. Does anyone have photos of how to tell when the kickstand is properly locked in the down position, ready to accept the weight of the loader?
LA435 loader kickstand
- Thread starter Hunter7
- Start date
Steps I take when removing...
- bucket full dump position
- then move release lever
- position edge of bucket to where legs just off ground
- when legs properly start to take load points in pics come into contact

THANK YOU. I am posting pictures in case others have the same issue. The shiny bar is tilted toward the tractor about 15 degrees when locked. It nests into the depression of the kickstand.
I learned one other pearl in a Messick's post on attaching the loader on even ground. Jostle. IF the knobs of the loader are not perfectly aligned with the receiver, one can slide the loader a bit by hand to get it to line up perfectly. The long arms of the loader act as a lever. This was easy on a concrete floor.
