451 Model with 555 frontend loader

[McGeesEquip]

I got a customer that has a Massey 451 model and he said he has a Massey 555 model frontend loader on the unit. He wants to have the bucket system changed to a skid steer hitch set up.

Can anyone please confirm that this loader model was even used on the 451 units, and what kind of buckets mounts was used. The customer says he has the pin on style bucket. Has anyone changed a 555 loader to a quick hitch system?

I appreciate any info.

Probably a 1050 loader if it's a Massey loader. 555 may be Bush Hog? You should be able to get an adapter hitch to pin on the loader & either weld a plate to the bucket or get a new bucket depending on funds.
A Massey dealer would be able to get you the hitch, or I'm sure an aftermarket company like Kasco could help out.

Thanks MFRED,

I just talked again with the customer and he said when he got home he rechecked that loader model and it's a 1055 model. Does Kasco have a
web site?

Thanks,

Kascomfg.com I think. The conversion hitch is usually around $400.

Thanks a lot MFRED. Your information is a great help. I've had some other customers asked about changing their buckets to skid steer and the information you provided will be a great help.

Thanks,
