LA 680 Loader Stand Specs

[Rancho C Don]

Hello All,
I am new to this forum and am the proud owner of a new to me L3600 with 1040 hrs. It is my first tractor! It came with an LA 680 FEL. The problem is that it did not come with the loader stands. I do have the owners manuals & see the brackets that held the stands. I know that the arms of the stand go into the square holes in the arms of the loader. Does anyone have the measurements of the stands? I will be making my own. The specs will help.

Thanks!
Don

Don..
I know I have some "somewhere"... I never remove my loader since putting a skid steer adapter on the bucket...

You can get the length by removing the mounting pins, following the loader removal procedure.
When you are at the "raise the loader side frames up about 3 inches high and out of the main frame sockets." Measure (from the square hole that you use a snap pin to secure the top of the stands to the loader).. from that SQ hole to the floor will be your length.
The square end that goes through the hole needs to be long enough to place the snap pin through.

Thanks Kenny.

I take it that the arm on the stand has to be long enough to clear the front tires.

I needed to remove the FEL to install the front mount snowblower w/quick hitch. (L2052-1 62") Otherwise, I wouldn't have removed it. I'll be looking into a skid steer adapter for the bucket.

I'll be taking out the tape measure when the weather warms up and the blower comes off!

Thanks again Kenny!

Thanks Kenny.

The stands do not go straight down, they kind of angle out to clear the front tires...
Once you have it up out of the capture sockets, it'll be obvious as to he angle and length... Warmer weather can't come too soon. KennyV
