Kubota LA403 plans needed

[TrellBuilt]

I am in need of some plans for a LA403 loader for a Kubota B2630. I contacted Kubota but got crickets.
I have looked in buying one but no one seems to have one for sale. If I can get some drawings a company said they could built the loader. Another option is to find a different loader that would fit my tractor or something that is close and could modify it to make it fit.
Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks

Why not give Westendorf a call and see what they offer. I bet it would not be anymore expensive than having one custom built.

Thanks for your information and I did get a price of $6300 to $7000. Seems high Considering the Kubota price was $4500 installed. They will custom build one for $3500 but I have to do the drawings. Be transparent I am a mechanical engineer but don’t have any experience with front end loaders. But I do have more time than money. This is why I was asking if anyone had a drawing so I could make a 3D model. When I get the model done I will share it here on the forums.
Does anyone have a La 403 loader that they can take alot of pictures of so I can figure out the geometry.
Thanks

Welcome to Tractor by Net (TBN). You could contact Koyker for an after market loader. You could also try to score an operator manual for the LA4003 from Kubota. It may not have plans but there should be a drawing on the cover. The Kubota specific website (Orange Tractor Talks) may be a help as well.

Kubota would never give you detailed drawings or dimensions anyway, that is proprietary information.

I am having trouble attaching images so I'll just try this and see what happens.

From LA403 Operator's manual

That tells the OP Nothing. He asked for dimensional drawings and Kubota won't supply them.

I needed the dimensional drawings for the radius links on my loader and Kubota would not provide them so what I did was order a new link (takes 4) and measured the dimensions and hole spacing on a new one and CNC plasma cut 3 more.

I think I can take the photo from the manual and scale it up to get the over all drawings for the geometry of the loader. Would be simple to draw the width up by pictures on the internet. I will post a 3D model when I get close so everyone can tell me what they think or what needs to changed.
thanks to everyone for posting.
till I get something done….

I have a 2009 B2320HST with the LA304 factory-installed Front End Loader.
Let me know what pictures you need.
I'm working on an "engineer it yourself" project to design and fab a sub-frame for a Woods BH65 backhoe because the lead times and prices right now are absolutely REDICULOUS! I'm a 30+ year mechanical design engineer with way too much hands-on machining and fab experience to wait 9 months for a $2,000 subframe.

I take it you did fine on engineering classes but not so well in spelling and grammar? Most engineers I know (including my BIL who us head of Engineering at Ford Motor's transmission design and execution unit), ain't worth beans with anything hands on. theory for sure, doing it, not really. Nothing complex about a BH subframe actually, so long as all the bolt holes line up correctly.
