I bought a 2015 b3200 with a LA524 loader I know now it calls for a la504 loader, my question is this there has to be more mounting points for the loader frame that is currently on the tractor. I've looked for loader mounting brackets using various titles and find nothing as far as loader mounting brackets any help would be appreciated I'll ad a picture so you can see what I have
B3200 with a la524 loader?

The 524 loader is for the basic L series. Doubtful you will find mounts for the B series to properly mount that loader.
This is the mount for the 524/525 loader on my L.
In your pic its pretty obvious somebody hacked that mount together to make it wider to fit, I wouldn’t be using that loader the way it is currently mounted.

Do you think this is the actual mount for the 504 loader? Or is there more to that mount also?
Can you post more pics of it? I’m not familiar with the B series but looking at the pics that hokie posted I would say no. It looks like they may have cut the mount for the 524 and welded a mount from something else into it.
It's actually on the tractor but now that I know I'm looking to trade for a 504 I guess that is why I'm trying to figure out if this alone what I have is a 504 mount but looking like it isn't.

Yeah those mounts aren’t going to work with the 504 (and the one looks broke in one of your pics).
They were broke I had them reworded as they are now with the primer brown on them but if they are not a 504 mount they do me no good either thanks.

Why not have the current mounting modified to match the mounting plate that fits the tractor? That would probably be less expensive than getting another loader and mounting system.
Can you weld up, possibly a better subframe for the FEL. Attach it to more places that you can bolt to underneath... even tie both side together. Would be cheaper than finding an old LA504... Use what you have and make it stronger.

Yes, but the other side was beefed up a bit and with more welding... Like this:
Shoot, add more steel across the whole top, above the holes, too...

Just my 2 cents...
Even if suitable mounts were fabricated & loader could be shifted aft 4", looks like it would still stick out too far forward. The stresses could very well destroy tractor.
You are in it this far. Sell the loader and buy correct one. Assuming nothing else has been modded, you'd have a very marketable item being the LA524 is a popular & current model.
