installing a john deere loader bucket

[joevance]

where are the hydraulic hook ups? I bought a new loader bucket attachment fro a JD 5203 tractor and I can't locate the hydraulic hook up for it.

Welcome to TBN

Not sure I understand the question, but if you mean you need another set of hydraulic connector at the end of the loader arms for something like a grapple or 4n1 bucket, then these are not standard equipment...you have to buy a "kit" from JD. Another option if you have a rear remote (3rd SCV) is to get long hoses made to go from the rear of the tractor to the front to operate your attachment.

you have to buy a "kit" from JD.

Kenny -- Is this a proper factory kit, or just a bunch of pieces parts assembled by the dealer? I've looked for this setup for a 522 loader with little success. Do you happen to have a link?

Thanks

Not sure...I know they have a kit for the 300/400 loaders, so I ASSumed there was one for the 500's as well...

I just looked in JDParts and found the parts, but not the "kit #" (See picture below)-I found it under the 522/542 loader-then "Hydraulic lines,Grapple"

Thank you Kenny. This is good stuff.
