Front-End Loader Installation of aFront loader 146 to a 2130 John Deere

[andrec999]

I bought a used front end loader John Deere 146 to attach to my John Deere 2130 tractor and trying to install it . There is no threads in the holes of the frame of the tractor to put the bolts in. The holes don't go completely through the frame . Do I have to install some kind of thredded devise in the holes or try to have them threded by a machine shop. I would appeciate any help.

I was able to use bolts and it did the job OK .I guess I was just worried for nothing. the loader is installed and I am trying to get use to operate it.
