I have opportunity to purchase a Kubota BL 4690A Backhoe attachment that came off a L4330. It is a frame mounted backhoe. I have a 2016 L2501 but not sure if the BL 4690A backhoe will fit on my L2501 and if there is a frame attachment for my L2501 to adapt to the BL 4690A. Does anyone know if this will fit? Any advice/input most appreciated

Are you sure you have those model numbers right? The BL4690A is mounted to the 3ph lift arms and a rigid "mast" to a HD top link bracket. It requires that the tractor has a FEL subframe, but does not connect to it.

The manual comes with HD top link part numbers and mounting directions for a wide variety of L series tractors, including the L2500, L4300, L4310 and L3300 but not the L2501 or the L4330.

I wondered about that too. My BL4690A is a 3PH mount Like Torch described. Would have expected a L4330 would have had a larger backhoe...

Mine is also powered by a PTO mounted pump. Just an additional data point.

Good question. Ad says "has been on a John Deere previously". Makes me wonder what modifications were made to that frame to get it to fit, or if it's even the original frame at all.
