Need help identifying FEL model

[Fraizer Creek]

Hi, I just bought a 2007? B7510 with FEL. The loader does not match the pictures of the LA302 or LA272. It has a single center bucket cylinder. It looks like it has been repainted and has Kubota logos on each boom. No other labels anywhere.

I am not sure if it is aftermarket. Has anyone seen one like this?

Thanks

Have not seen one but will offer a few comments: To be honest it looks home-made and a pretty good job at that. Might be aftermarket but they are fairly rare. Notice that every piece of steel is flat, straight or readily made from stock. No formed or pre-curved or "factory looking" components. My thought is that it would be made to quick-disconnect if it were aftermarket (or any Kubota model) as it would be a hard-sell if it were not. What you have is certainly not a quick-dismount loader. Those cylinders are all "external long bolts" construction which I have never seen on a loader (though there may be some.) The adjustable position loader valve support structure is unique. Two set screw bolts... I'd bet money it is not compatible with a belly mower. I think it is home-made (at least not a commercial product.) I've seen several Amish welding shops that could duplicate it and many metal fabrication shops could.

What is the origin? Where did it come from?

I am in Oregon. Just bought it locally. It works great, however there is no “float” mode, which was a little disappointing.
