Hi - recently bought an L275DT with 4WD not working but had a decent shape BF400 loader. Would like to take the loader off and work on repairing the tractor but the loader is missing the connector masts. Does anyone have pictures of the masts so I can make them?

It’s the “connecting bar” as shown here that goes into the bucket slots to support loader when unhooked.

Ah, OK... guess my BX23s has something like that.....
Maybe look online for 'BF400' loader parts, say Messicks ??
for my old tractor I just used 4by4s as 'supports', old tractor (50s) so 'old skool'.

found this...https://www.messicks.com/catalogs/kubota/bf400/boom-frame/i00200-boom
looks like 'brace' ( #12 ?) is what you need ? though maybe other parts as well
you could build/buy a 'gantry crane' to remove the loader. BTDT before as well...

It’s #28 here: https://www.messicks.com/catalogs/kubota/bf400/boom-frame/i00100-frame
was hoping someone could take photos if they had them. Look pretty simple / fairly well described in that parts diagram so maybe that’s enough. Thank you.

OK, finally found 'waldo #28'... looks EASY to make, maybe 2" longer than the holes for storing it ?
I can see why they're not on it.... might have been bent and tossed into garage to be 'fixed at a later date', then lost......
hopefully someone HAS them on their loader.....

You really need both #28 and #11
To make #28 measure the length on your loader where pins (yellow) attach the bars to the loader.
Then Measure that pins length under the hole for clip #29, this divided by 2 will give you the thickness of the bars.
Then go to the loader bucket and measure the pocket height that will give you the bar width.
#11 are square bars they fit into the square holes in the towers (orange).
The length of the short side will be enough that the front tires will clear the bars when when the are inserted in the towers.
The length of the long side will be long enough for the bottom of the towers to clear the pockets.

I still have them on my BF400
I will not be able to get the measurements for a couple days when I get back home
I will check to see if you still need the info
