Looking for L1730 FEL loader mounting brackets for L185 / L245

[cstempert]

I recently purchased a used L1730 Front end Loader and 60" bucket for my L185DT It's a bit rusted, but nothing a little sanding, painting, and hydro rebuild won't fix.

It was mostly complete as taken off the L245DT that it was on, but missing all of the brackets that hold it to the tractor . A shame, because the brackets are probably still on the L245 somewhere and most are the same parts.

If anyone has a set of brackets they are willing to part with, please contact me through the group. Or...if you work for a dealer and can extend me a great discount on new parts, well then contact me too, 'cause I'll need some pins, bolts, and cylinder rebuild kits too.

Thanks Chris

Your best bet is used for these parts or make your own! Even at dealer cost the price of them will be way more than it is worth.

Yeah, I thought of that too.

That's a last resort plan if I can't find anything around.

Without dimensions, I'll be guessing on some of the more complex brackets. The simple brackets are pretty straightforward, but not that expensive. I can buy them for a little more than material cost. It's the front and mid mount that are a little pricey and more complex, and probably worth sourcing.

If anyon has any dimensional data, then fabricating may be the way to go.
