Adding a loader to a B2650

[rScotty]

Sorry I should have clarified. This is what the seller is offering for around $2000

So this is just the loader frame, valves and hoses I presume. To mount this onto the tractor it needs a special mount ?

Seriously?? I think I'd be looking for a different dealer. My suspicions are going into overdrive. Given what he is showing you, your own expertise or lack, and the questions that you have .... I'd want to take a professional mechanic with me to look over that B2650. You are assuming it is OK, but I am not.
The price on the B2650 could be a come on designed to shift your whole attention to the loader - as it has done.

Several things here are not adding up to a positive picture. For one, that "loader frame" is missing parts that your "dealer" could look up and give you prices for in 5 minutes from his WholeGoods Catalogue.
It needs subframe, uprights, a control valve assembly, a bucket, and pins and bushings. That's another $2000 or so.
Plus it looks beat.

The dealer knows all this and he knows exactly what a loader will add to the B2650 value.
Something - lots of somethings - just do not smell right here. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
And that is why I'm suspecting the B2650 as well.
Give this a pass; go somewhere else and start over.
There are better good machines out there. Lots of them.

I’d pass on how terrible the mower deck looks plus the missing parts. My dealership won’t sell a deck like that and they’ll deduct money for replacement parts if it was on a trade. FYI…The LA535 is a direct replacement for the LA534 so don’t sweat finding a loader.
