LA403 loader on B1700

[Ungerstruck]

Hi, I have a B1700 tractor without a loader and am having a very hard time finding a loder for it, but I have found a LA4O3 loader for a decent price, does anyone here have a B3030 or b2630 tractor that could give me some dimensions of their frame where they're loader attaches to for me to compare to see if I could mount a LA403 loader to my B1700 tractor? Also I have designed and built many things as I am a machinist/fabricator for the last 16 years, I could probably make this loader fit even if it was very different, but I dont know how much motivation I have beyond just changing the mounting brackets (if its needed), as in if the loader would pivot or be shaped differently enough to come in contact with my hood or front end after putting all the work in to mount it.

I suggest you look up the loader to see if mounting brackets are offered for your tractor. I have a Bush Hog loader on my B1750 and the same loader is listed to fit several other Kubotas as well as other brands, only difference is mounting brackets. Try Colmans,Messicks,German Bliss and other dealers. I don't know about the loader in question but the mounting brackets for mine would be straight forward to fabricate.

It's going to be up for a huge task to make it fit.
You'll need to make a subframe like the LA301 or you'll just brake the tractor in half.
