Know where I may find some FEL parts L1730 - L185 / L245

[cstempert]

I recently purchased a used L1730 Front end Loader and 60" bucket for my L185DT. It's a bit rusted, but nothing a little sanding, painting, and hydro rebuild won't fix.
It was mostly complete as taken off the L245DT that it was on, but missing all of the brackets that hold it to the tractor. A shame, because the brackets are probably still on the L245 somewhere and most are the same parts.

If anyone has a set of brackets they are willing to part with, please contact me through the group. Or...if you work for a dealer and can extend me a great discount on new parts, well than contact me too, 'cause I'll need some pins, bolts, and cylinder rebuild kits too.

Also, has anyone ever rebuilt FEL cylinders before? I am a little unsure of how the retaining Ring is going to come out or more specifically, go back in.
Looks easier explained than done!


Thanks Chris

Chris, I just installed a 1200 loader on my l245dt , it was on an l285 . The brackets that came with it didn't fit my tractor very well I basically cut them apart and fabbed everything up myself. It wasn't that tough just a lot welding, measuring etc. If you have access to a stick welder or someone who can weld for you it won't take long. I know on the 245's you need a sub frame that connects the transmission to the rear axle I imagine to distribute the weight so you don't break a boss off the tranny. I posted some pics of the bracket the thread " help with loader on a l245dt "
