Hey all - I finally got a loader for my JD3255 and rather than use the old crusty and half broken two handle controls I went ahead and got a new valve and joystick setup.This one. I have the loader mounted. The valves all plumbed. The loader raises and lowers. What I can't figure out is how I...

Oh man, you think you guys have been printing money. Check into what our PM has been up to.

Even with the exchange, that should only be about $70 CAD. Fortunately I don't need to replace them all, just 2 or 3. The spacers I will have fabbed in town next time I get a chance to go in.

Bringing this thread back from the almost dead. I finally managed to land a 260 with the right mounting frames, valve, joystick etc at auction. Needs a bit of work. Mainly a couple of the fastening pins on the pivots are either cobbled back together or replaced with a hitch pin. Does anyone...

Totally. Definitely not my preference, but I am finding these mounts quite hard to come by up in Canada. I do see them more often down there, but with borders closed until who knows when, it gets harder to get them home. Basically looking to see if there are other feasible alternatives. I will...

So I ended up missing out on that 260 unfortunately. There are a few other options around, but not with the right mounts yet. So my question is this: Would other mounts, say for a 7000 series (or any others) fit the frame if I were able to have the arms to the rear axle fabricated and welded...

Perfect. Thanks! I am going to need to get a whole lot better searching these parts books.

That I don't know yet. The tractor isn't where I am at right now, so I will have to check when it is. If it doesn't are they difficult to come by? I just did a quick Google search that didn't bring up much of anything.

From everything I have seen, the 3255 is the same. Hoses feed from the loader into that box and joystick out and up into the cab. This is the first time I've actually had to fit a loader to a tractor and not just come with it and I am finding these Mannheim machines to be a challenge.

Thanks Jim that would be amazing if they do as the package has the valve for the 2950 as well. I think I actually saw another post of yours elsewhere that made me aware of all the compatible mounts. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

Perfect, thanks! That will help a lot.

Also if anyone can point me to any posts, articles or Youtube videos of the process, that would be super cool. My GoogleFu is failing me.

Hey gang - I have a 1992 3255 that I am looking to put a loader on. I have found a 260 with frame mounts for the 2950 which I beleive are the same with the supports to the rear axle. It comes with the loader, bucket, grabble and joystick. Next step is I need to figure out what else I am going...

Hey folks, I am in the process of purchasing a 1992 JD 3255. I need to equip it with a loader. I can't make heads or tails of compatible loaders and mount combinations. I have a lead on a 640 Loader. Would this fit and what mounts would I need? Trying to sort this out before I make the...

Hey folks - quick question about a Versatile 150 for anyone in the know. I am a Massey guy with little knowledge of these machines. There is one for sale locally that would be handy to have around if the price is right. It is said to run strong but they had a wheel come off over the winter...
