This proved to be a tough one. So, I put it on the back burner and opted to find one for my S670D Bison instead. But, finding a Schwartz 1200 HD front end loader, the one which was sold with the S670D Bison when new, was probably just as difficult, if not more so. Frankly, finding one with correct S670D mounts.....I thought would be all but impossible. Well, it was....until doing a nationwide search flushed one out. Found one 1600 miles away. It will be back here in a few days. Here is the interesting part. The loader had a Bison S670D attached to it for no added $. Currently, its a a non-runner due to a bad starter (alleged to have been running fine prior to starter death). Also has a broken front final drive case. Not sure if it will become a parts tractor to be tucked back into a corner, or maybe with a little more work to find a final drive and a new hood (crunched on top), and who knows if anything else is wrong, it might become another runner. Actually, these tractors are so scarce, that it might be a better idea to put the time into it and bring it back to its former glory. Anyone here have a final drive case and/or a hood? Not sure if it is the same hood as the last version of the S650G used or not, but maybe? The final drive case, according to Bill R at Valley Power (thanks Bill), was used on several other Mitsubishi models.
