I would think it is to big for a 146 but only an opinion.

I have a YM2002D, 23.5 engine HO according to Hoye. It has a Koyker 110 loader on it. That is how I bought it.
The K1 as I understand is quite a bit larger than my model.
Current loader model recommended for my tractor by Koyker is a 120.
It is probably easier to find a tractor with a loader than finding a used loader that will fit your 146.
Depending on the cost of the used loaders and/or the tractor with a loader, it may be worth wild to look at a new loader with the mounting provided with the loader.

I just slammed this one on, I made an entire bolt on sub frame to add rigidity and just cut and welded the loader itself to fit. I'm running a 2900 psi pump off my electric clutch so I can turn it off and on to conserve power when I'm not using it. It will lift more than the tractor weighs from the factory. Next is power steering. I wish I had that loader on mine, its a ton nicer, and if you have some welding skills it's easy.

Is the EC fuse protected and also only functional on/off when the key is in the 'run' position. Else, batteries can die or get drained otherwise.

yep it only runs when the tractor is running, but on that note no other hydraulic pump would run without the engine running either., i dont know if it has a fuse. it uses the normal blade engagement switch that disengages the clutch when the key or switched to off. i dont think a fuse would make a difference being since it doesnt make the electro magnets do anything different than engaging the deck. i can say for sure that the pump robs less power than the deck did. not to mention i didnt have to replace the engine mounted pump or adaptor to achieve higher volume and pressure. and its removable if i ever need to mow with it again. so far ive moved 10 -15 yards of soil and zero issues have risen. the vertical posts hold the fluid (about 3.5 gallon) and never even get hot.
