Loader John Deere 5103 compatible with a 520 Front End Loader?

WARTIGER45 · Dec 13, 2015

I have a 2004 JD 5103 2wd and I have the opportunity to buy a 520 front end loader. With this fit on the 5103? Do I need to get special brackets? And what is considered a decent price for the 520 FEL? Thanks for anybody's help!

Here is a video showing that combo.. but jdparts.com shows the 5103 taking the 512 FEL
Edit: Looking closer at the video, it is actually the 512 FEL on that tractor at 3:06

Here is a link to the 520 operators manual which shows which tractors it is approved for. It does not show the 5103 as an approved tractor

Here is the manual for the 512
