Difference in B2601 loaders

[milanmark]

I have a B2601 with a LA434 , I want to buy a handle that attaches thru two holes in the back of the loader arm except I don’t have those two holes! Then I noticed on the LA435 that it has a different hinge, I drew the yellow arrow to it. Has a pear shape. Anyone know what the difference is? Obviously had a design change. I’m not a fan of drilling holes in my tractor but if I want the handle I’ll have to… the hinge pin I’m just curious about… thanks!

Maybe I posted under the wrong forum?

Maybe it is the easy off loader or what ever they call it?

Yes, there was a production change.
Yes, if you do not have the holes and want to mount something, you will have to drill holes.

Not sure I understand what you want. You say your 434 doesn't have the holes but the 435 does. They are different loaders. Yours is a manual removal loader and the 435 is automatic. As in you don't need to get out of the seat to remove it. If you want the holes then your going to have to drill them. Or don't install the handle.

Your question/statement(s) lack clarity and can be interpreted a variety of ways. That is probably why you have received few responses. Drill the holes and be done with it. Good luck.

OP dos have the Swift-Tach loader, the sticker is visible on the side.

The holes he's referring to have to do with the auto-leveling system (optional) that attaches to the top of the loader arm, keeps the forks level when raising the loader. Can't remember Kubota's name for it though...

I'm guessing that the auto-level system was not available when your loader was manufactured.
