I have a 1620 and just went through the same pain in rear. I bought the tractor with the factory front blower and no loader. I hunted for a few months calling every new tractor dealer anywhere remotely near, watching fb marketplace, Craigslist, etc. I also got a quote from westendoef for $4700 with a quick attach setup.
I finally found a complete 1520 with a loader and a transmission leak inside the bellhousing for $4k at a new holland dealer 2 hours away. I immediately went and picked it up and had the loader on my tractor within an hour of getting back. I purchased a universal quick attach retrofit kit for $240 from Vevor and cut the pin on brackets off the bucket and welded them onto the quick attach parts.
