B2782B Snowblower Installation Issues on B2650 Cab with LA535 FEL

[Berky07]

I'm hoping somebody has some insight here that could help me out. I purchased a used B2650 with factory cab and it had a b2782b snowblower attached to it with what I'm guessing is the B2714b male quick hitch. Before I got the tractor, I had the dealer remove the snowblower and install a LA535 FEL. Now that I'm looking to put the snowblower back on it seems the FEL mount on my frame is covering up the holes I need to re-install the quick hitch bracket to my frame. Does anyone have experience with this?

Here is a photo of the LA535 frame mount which I think is covering the holes I need...

somebody in a Facebook group sent me this photo, so it appears I just need to get some longer bolts!

What happened to the bolts and the brackets that were on it when you bought it? Did you get them?

You'll probably also have to get some 'spacers' for where the subframe attaches and now those brackets are spaced further apart by the width of the loader frame plates.
if it was a clever design, swapping left and right brackets may be an option ? Hard to tell from the picture. A parts lookup should show it though.....xxxx brackets for no loader, yyyyy for with loader.

The dealer told me the bolts and bracket were "misplaced" when they took off the snowblower to put on the FEL. They are trying to sort it out now...we'll see

Tell the dealer that his parts books are not misplaced and that Kubota has all the missing parts, and he can supply them to you at no cost or find the originals. When parts like this go missing, I go to the tech that did the job and ask him directly "What did you do with the parts that you removed? " Most likely they are in his stash of spare parts or they followed him home in the back of his truck.

I responded to your Facebook post with the following info-

M14-1.5x50 is what you'll need. You're going to have order them from a Kubota dealer, Fastenal or McMaster as you won't find them in a regular store.

The original hardware for the quick hitch sub frame would have worked. Those bolts would be long enough since it would accommodate both loader frame and no loader frame since spacers are used if there are no loader frame brackets installed.
