Relocating Hydraulic Lever on BX2200

[kubotabidder]

I have a 2001 Kubota BX2200 and the hydraulic lever came mounted on the front end loader. To use the snow blower I have to remove it from the loader and use it free standing in its frame position. I have noticed that the later BX tractors come with the hydraulic lever mounted on the tractor and the attachments just need the hoses hooked up to a manifold. Has anyone converted the older style loader mounting to a tractor mounting? Would love to see some pictures of how you did it. Thanks.

I did do it to my bx2200. Unfortunately I don’t have the machine anymore. I upgraded to b2650. I may have some pics on my home computer but I won’t be back home till Monday. Basically I welded 1/4” thick plate to the loader stanchion and mounted the valve to that. The hoses remained connected to the valve and I put quick connects on the other end where steel lines connect to hoses.
