LA 301/ LA 302 Bucket - Answered

[doghousebob]

Will a LA 302 bucket fit a LA 301 loader?
Damn close in spec on the Kubota site.
The 302 seller's measurements are within aprox a 1/2" of mine.
(between the ears my measure in the freezing cold is 35 /3/4" his is less than 36 1/4")
I guess I'm asking how much flex there is in the loader arms?
Great to pick up a straight bucket for a very nice price.
Cheers,
Bob

Lift your bucket / FEL off the ground and rock it left and right. I would be surprised if it couldn't move the arms at least a 1/2"

Perhaps you could looks at the parts manuals for the loaders, if available somewhere like Messicks, and see if bucket part numbers are the same for the buckets on both loaders.

Thanks for the assistance "old and tired" and Henro.
Local dealer unable to answer my question.
However, seller carefully remeasured and his measurements matched mine close as dammit.
Messicks' parts book confirmed the same part number.
Woo-Hoo !!!

Whoa! I though you were calling me old and tired!

Was thinking I may be old, but certainly NOT tired!

Then I reread your post!
