Has anyone modified a newer Kubota loader like a LA435 to fit the older 2000s b7500 tractor. I know the lifting capacity is a little bit bigger than say a LA302 but I don't think it's excessive. I'm just trying to find a loader that will work for my tractor. Fab work doesn't scare me, just testing the waters to see if anyone else has made another loader work before I go down a certain path.

The biggest issue with newer loaders is that they need to have the mounts modified drastically to support the tractor, as older tractors did not have the same style of frames that they have on newer models.
