1500 loader

[matt comer]

hello everyone, I was wondering if a loader for a L175 would mount up to a L1500?

I'd like to know too! And is there enough tractor there to support a loader?

L175 and an L1500 are essentially the same exact tractor, the L1500 just has one more set of gears for drive and PTO.

Works great on my L1500 (48" Great Bend),
just need to have some ballast weight on the rear,
my box blade has always been enough.

How expen$ive was adding the loader? Excuse me if I'm being too nosey! But maybe a ball park figure? Thanks again

Well I'm sorry I can't tell you, it came with the tractor, and that company went out of business in the late 70s

Unfortunately I do not know what the current going price is for a loader to fit a 1500 / 175. But I'm sure some people on the site here can help you out with that figure

I passed on a Koyker model 80 which fits my L1500DT that was listed on CL for $1200. It still needed a sub frame and valves, and fittings to tap into the hydraulic system. I don't have a shop, so I figured it would cost me about what I paid for the tractor by the time I was done. Probably should have bought it anyway. Koyker still makes the 80 and Woods probably makes one for it as well. Otherwise what you can get from craigslist is pretty regional and timing dependent.
