Quick Attach

[BlacknTan]

Does anyone know if the "Quick Attach" brackets from the FEL on a B-3200 will fit the FEL on a B-7800... LA-402 loader?

I know Kubota publishes parts interchangeability lists ..

Neil Messick or Art White.. Can you help out?

No the loader arms are further apart. As long as the pin size is the same it could be modified very easily by cutting the joining pipe and adding in some pipe to get the proper width.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the info kuboman ..

I'll have to check this out a bit further, by taking some measurements. If the distance between pins on the bracket, and thus the geometry has not changed, I might just do that.
But, just to have the ability to add pallet forks that will be rarely used, I'll have to think on it some more ..

Thanks again.

I think the only difference in loaders is the 402 is wider. So, it would just be a matter of cutting the pipe that joins the quick attach together and widening it but buy all mean measure. I have been wrong once or twice:laughing::laughing:

Woops I see you mention pallets forks. If you get the Kubota forks they of course are made for the narrower loader. If you are a fabricator anything is possible. Your bucket you have will work fine though.

How about skidsteer style? This is going way back in my memory banks, but seems I recall someone here adapting the Kubota SSQA from maybe an L2800 to his LA402 with little or no modification for under $400 or so.

The pin spacing is different on the LA504 loader is different as well, reduced from 9.5" to 7". A completely different animal.

You could be right. I have never measured that on the 402.
The SSQA seems like a better option. I wish I had gone that route with my 3200:thumbsup:

Oh, but you still can! See my thread on converting Pin On to SSQA.:thumbsup:

Where did you get the kit to do that?? I live just north of you K0ua. I bought a L3400HST without the SSQA and I'm kicking myself in the ... for not getting it!!

That's one of the things I was concerned about...

Ductape,

I'll do some searching and try to find the old L-2800 thread .. Thanks

I bought the SSQA adaptor off of the Kubota dealer in Berryville, Ar. it was either 400 or 450 I cannot remember which, and the SSQA plate to put on the bucket I got from E-bay for $124 and that included shipping, Of course the adaptor pins on in just a couple of minutes. the hard part is the cleaning off of the bucket. But I could do it easier/smarter now. I will do all the work for you for the $250 I offered the other guy in Arizona. If you are not in a hurry. or you can weld it up yourself if you have a welder. And if you don't, I have a tombstone Lincoln with 30 foot extended leads, and on a dolly so you can wheel it around for $175.. so there now you have options:laughing:
It is worth doing, it is just a pain, but it is nice to change to forks in a couple of minutes.

I really need to get a grapple for my tractor. Also... The forks would be a nice addition!! I have had a Lincoln mig welder for years and know how to use it so I'm not to worried about metal fabrication. The good thing with metal is, If you screw up you can always add more metal and grind it down smooth. As long as you have 100% penetration with your welds.
