Loader for F15D

[F15DOWNER]

Hi All
I would like opinions if a used YFL675 Yanmar loader would fit on my F15D. I'm aware any loader might require a few tweeks.

It should be about the right size. You will have to fabricate the brackets.

Thanks Len!
I already figured that I would have to make something.
It probably going to need all new plumbing also.

When I hook up the hydraulics on that YFL675, is it as easy as splicing the pressure line (open center)? The loader is all original so I would assume that it can be hooked up that way.
I would rather not find out the hard way and destroy my pump. Is there a way I can test it to find out, with compressed air or something?
I'm kind of torn between buying this older loader and a new koyker, but the price is less than 1/3 and its just a hobbie, I'm not really going to work it very hard.

PS thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.

Cut pressure line. Run pump to IN on valve. Run OUT to back half of line. Go to the following link for more details. hooking up hydraulics

I left the YFL675 go, I can't believe it would go for $2050.
I can get a new loader for a few hundred more?????

I ordered a new Helpmate 1 for it today. I have heard mixed reviews on the Helpmate loader, but the price was right.

WOW!, I've been watchin' it and looked for it this morning and didn't see it, last time I looked it was something like $750. I can't belive somebody paid $2,050, guess there is always one out there.

No kidding, I need to bump up my loader prices.

2000$ for a used loader is crazy. I think a new Koyker goes for around 2500. I picked up a used loader for $400, had to make up some brackets but it was worth it.
Works better than I thought it would.

p.s. if anyone wants to give me $2000+ they can have it.

If anyone hears of a loader that will fit (with modifications) on my YM1100B
let me know. Thanks. Chuck
