Customizing LA435

[Jaymiswoody]

Wondering if anyone has Played around with the cylinder mounting locations on an LA435 on a b2601? Yellow area looks to me as a different option maybe for a different series or application??? Looks as if i could gain lifting strength, but lose some lift height. Pin flags are not the same size as what is on my tractor from the factory so it’s not a direct swap of pins and find out. If anyone has moved their pins around where did you find new pins with longer flags? How did it affect your loader?? Also looks like you can do the same with the tilt cylinders but i can’t see any gain from that position.

If you just want to do a test can you not just install the pins in the second location without bolting down the flags. Probably be able to lift the front of the tractor higher using the loader as long as there are no clearance issues.

Just my useless opinion but I don’t think the geometry and angles are proper.
if you try it please update and let us all know!

If I wanted more power I would look at higher hydraulic pressure and/or larger cylinders. Simple arithmetic tells you the gain and its gauranteed to work.

Your angle is greater than 90 degrees at the ram's mounting point which means you'd be pushing the loader down when extending the cylinder, not up.

The other holes are for a mechanical self leveling option!
DO NOT move your cylinders to those locations, you will very likely damage the loader or the cylinders.
