Johnson Workhorse FEL

[Reconsaw]

High everyone, need some Devine guidance and intervention. Has anyone installed a Johnson FEL Mod. 27 on a G174? I have it mounted to a Bolens 1476 currently however, I purchased an Bolens (iseki) TX 1500 F. I have approx 5ac of weeds following the removal of 16truck loads timber. I had no idea what came back was going to be a haven for every weed known to man. I purchased a 4’ kind kutter BH to help with damage control but needed 3 suitcase weights to offset the mower weight.
Got to thinking I could accomplish that very thing using the FEL. Only issue is the lack of frame and figuring out points of attachment. Is there someone on here that could walk me through the process, or direct me to a site where someone has done something similar or if it’s even possible.
I initially removed the loader from a JD111 garden tractor.

Hello Hello Hello, anyone home

The likelihood of someone with direct experience in that combination is going to be slim to none. If you're a welder with some fabrication experience, I suspect you're just going to have to dive into into it and see how it goes.
I'm a terrible welder, and would hire that job out if it absolutely had to be done. Perhaps some fabricators here can give you some tips once you get into it.

I agree with Rj. Not much we can help. Just have to dive in and figure something out.

You already have the loader and a submount for it. Just have to make it fit on the Iseki.

Since that Iseki is very similar to the Kubota B7000 I had, I'll share some pictures of the loader I built for it. Maybe it gives you some ideas.

Thank you. Is there a loader made for that tractor?

And if you’re looking for even more excitement, why not try your luck at the local after the game?Got to thinking I could accomplish that very thing using the FEL.

It sounds like you're trying to retrofit a Johnson FEL Mod. 27 onto a Bolens (Iseki) TX 1500 F. While it's definitely possible, it can be quite a challenge due to the differences in frame and mounting points between tractors.
You might want to start by checking the frame width and comparing it to the mounting brackets of the FEL. Custom brackets or reinforcements could be necessary, and you might need to fabricate some parts. I’d recommend reaching out on tractor forums or groups dedicated to Bolens or Iseki tractors; there are often knowledgeable folks who have tackled similar projects and can offer specific advice or even share photos of their setups.here

Yours should be easier than what I did: FEL, TORO Groundsmaster Put Together
