Here is a pic. The bar running off to the right is the BH subframe. The big plate running up, is the plate bolted to the side of the tractor bell housing. There is an inner plate welded to it that runs down on the inside of the BH frame bar, the pin I am touching runs thru both these plates and the BH subframe. The bar running from the lower left up at an angle parallel to my arm is the FEL subframe. The vertical towers that support the FEL arms are at the ends of the FEL subframe.

Thanks for the pic Ron. I saw this one before I emailed you and was wondering where you bolted it to the FEL frame. Did you use the four bolts that go into the engine block that form a square pattern? What is the tube to the left of your arm in the pic?
Thanks again,
Tony

The 4 holes are not on the engine block, they are on the transmission bell housing. That is where the access covers are located for adjusting the clutch on a tractor without a FEL. The tube to the left of my arme extends out from the tractor and has a vertical tube running up to the FEL arm pivot. If you look close at my Avitar, you can see the vertical that sets on that tube by my arm, just behind the front tire...

Ok, I see where i got confused. Your loader setup is different than my ZL-20. My loader sets on top of the trans bell housing access cover brackets(rear support of my FEL) instead of setting on the tube to the left of your arm in the pic. I need to connect the trans bell housing brackets to my FEL or the engine frame to take the stress off of the flywheel bell housing so it doesn't crack in two again. I don't have the brackets welded to my access covers like you do, so I will copy the design on yours and connect to the engine frame. Looking at your pic I see flat bar going up under your oil filter(can't see where that is connected) and there is a square 4 bolt pattern on the engine frame(front support of my FEL) in front of the oil filter that I will have to bracket to.
Thanks for the help,
Tony

Here is a better pic of the loader subframe. where you can see all the attachment points. That angled strut runs from the middle of the crossbar up at an angle and attaches to the frame that runs alongside(and is bolted to) the engine block.

There is another strut that attaches to the top of the FEL towers and runs down and forward to the forward frame down in front of the engine. You can see it best in this pic.
