Hi, I know a similar question has been asked.... However, my tractor is older so I'm inquiring. I have a John Deere 3020 w an original JD Loader attached. My bucket is shot.... I happen to have a skidsteer bucket in excellent shape so I'm looking to purchase an adapter. I don't know what the "style" of attachment the John Deere Loader has I figure someone knows this off the top of their head. I checked with the JD dealer and they were not very helpful. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you! If you need a picture, let me know I'll get one.

If you have the JD 3020 with 148 loader, its a pin-on bucket - you need the QA conversion plate with ears to pin your bucket cylinders onto. There are a number of after-market adapters.
But if the back of your bucket - pins and plate are OK cut the bucket off weld on a $150-200 QA plate would be the least expensive route, https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Attachments-Universal-Loader-Bucket/dp/B00PR2W482?th=1

Most of the 3020's I have seen around here have either a 48 or a 148 Deere loader. The difference is - the 48 has one hydraulic cylinder and the 148 has 2 hydraulic cylinders.

I don't know which one myself, but you may want to ask these guys. I've bought a few adapters here for my 410 loader, at very good (IMHO) prices.

Finding the right adapter for older equipment can be a pain. It’s essential to identify the loader’s attachment style first. I know that titan attachments often has adapters for various models, and they've been helpful for many users. You can check their site if you are still in search.
