Taking off the loader bucket

[jennkl]

I just purchased a '94 L5450 that has an LA1150A loader bucket. I'd like to remove the bucket. I can see the mounting points, but not sure how to remove it. Any suggestions, I've done some basic research, but can't find anything.

Clearing up your terminology will help.
It's a FEL or a front end loader.

Remove the 2 stands (green)



Remove the 2 front arms (blue)
Remove the 2 front bolts (yellow)
Remove the 2 wedge bolts (yellow)
Put the 2 arms (blue) into the pockets of the bucket facing rearward.
You will roll the bucket to lift the rear off the loader.
Support the rear with the stands.

Yeah, but I'm still confused on which part they actually want to remove ...

FYI - the green is the FEL, the purple is the bucket ... You need the bucket on to remove the fel ...

That FEL doesn’t appear to be quick-detach (or self-detach)…. does it?

My M4700 is similar vintage and type… (same basic tractor/engine)…. but the LA1002 FEL on mine is quick-detach….(tho’ I’ve never removed it.)



Here’s a pleasant video of how to remove/reinstall a self-detach type FEL:
