Loader Kubota la1150a loader on l5450

[ipag]

Greetings fellow L5450 owners,

I have a genuine la1150a loader frame arriving for my l5450, without a bucket or quick hitch. I'm hoping someone can run a tape measure over an original la1150a loader and supply me the following dimensions either in imperial or metric so I can manufacture a tilt quick hitch with the correct geometry.

The centre distance between the pivot pin and the bucket cylinder tilt pin,

With the bucket flat on the ground, the distance from the ground to the centre of the pivot pin - sometimes referred to as the dig depth,

and also with the bucket flat on the ground the vertical offset of the 2 pins - using a level vertical from the centre of the pivot pin measure the distance horizontally to the bucket pin centre. I'm guessing the bucket pin will be offset toward the bucket?


I was reading a thread in which a poster referred to an l5450 being broken in half having been hit by a train- I have build an l5450 from on that rolled of a truck in transit, I got it minus the engine and front axle - yep ever clutch transmissions aren't good as a substitute for chains in case the hand brake releases on route - broke in half at the clutch housing and one axle housing. The other one complete but corroding away on an island - the kids had removed the oil filler cap and added dirt to the engine for good measure.

I now have a working tractor, still remanufacturing some of the panelling from bent and corroded parts - the fuel tank and rear fenders are the big challenge if anyone knows of an l5450 being parted out please let me know.

The L5450 is well made I've had just about the entire tractor apart and have most parts from and including the ever clutch pack back spare should anyone find themselves opening up the gear box, rear end, axles or 3pt linkage housing.

Thanks

Ian

I have an L5450 and a LA1150A loader. I switched it to SSQA but went with a commercially available adapter.

Hi Ian - welcome to TBN. There are several owners here of the L5450 and the other L3 models - L3350, L3750, L4150, L4350, and L4850. Congratulations on bringing a broken one back from the dead !

My LA1150A loader is unmounted during snow blower season but I did get some approximate dimensions. The pin centers are about 10-1/4" apart, the upper pin is about 2-1/2" forward of the lower pin, and the lower pin is about 5" above the bottom of the bucket. I've heard spring might be here soon - could measure better as the bucket come out of the glacier !

At the moment there's a fuel tank and other L5450 parts at Marshall Machinery in Honesdale, PA (new2youtractorparts on ebay)
Looks like they have one they're parting out. Perhaps they'd offer a deal on several items ?

Also there's this linkfor West Kentucky Tractor Parts. No specific parts listed.

Best luck with the quick-attach. The KU03 adapter from ATI has another angle to consider between the plane of the pins and the plane of the actual attachment plate.

Interesting rebuild project.

Which QA system are you going to adopt? What is commonly used in Australia, Euro/Global, Skidsteer or something else?
