I am looking for a LA243 front loader for my BX2660. Unfortunately I decided to not buy one at the time I bought the tractor and now need one. I’m finding out the hard way that they are hard to come by in my area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The age old story - you "might" find a loader for that 10+ year old machine, but you will need the subframe and all the hydraulics to go with it.

As many have said before - sell that unit, and then buy another with the FEL.

I am not sure the 70 or the 80 series will work with the 60 series.

EXCELLENT ADVICE!

That’s the way it’s looking. My unit has all the necessary hookups on it just no loader. Never thought it would be so difficult to find a used one.

I was looking for a pto shaft for a B7100 - hell, it was only ONE section of the shaft. Could NOT find it for 2 years. AND once I stopped looking one popped up on Craigslist 10 miles away.
