Loader missing loader brackets, need schematics

[kbl5450]

i recently purchased a kubota l5450 with a la1150 loader. the loader was not attached and the brackets that mount it to the fame near the floorboards are missing. thought it wouldn't be hard to get new brackets, which it's not if you're willing to pay kubota $3600, i am not. i have a competent fabricator willing to build them very reasonable but wants pics and measurements to go off. any help would be greatly appreciated

There is a craigslist post for some for a different loader. May fit, don't know, you will have to look up some part numbers. I don't know if I'm allowed to post links, but it is on the Albany NY craigslist under farm and garden posted on 1/5/12

If you have a Kubota dealer nearby and they have the same model, take some measurements and pictures.

Theres a free parts diagram here. No dimensions but the pics might help.

I have a L5450 with LA1150A loader. If you need pictures I would be happy to take some if you still need them.

If I were making side frame brackets from scratch, I'd try to borrow a pair to use in duplicating them. The brackets have tapered tops the loader uprights fit over. There are wedges to hold each side and the bolts have stand-off spacers to the engine. It will be a challenging job without factory jigs and fixtures for lining everything up.

There's a cross piece that connects the two side brackets and bolts to the bellhousing - shown in pic below. Also found a partial image of the left side bracket. Did they give you the flat bars that connect to the rear axle? (the ones in the pic are 3/4" thick for a backhoe subframe - the ones for just the loader are 1/2") How about the chin bar? Is there any way to track down the original parts?

I do have the chin bar and bars that go back to rear axle. Been searching all over for one close by to duplicate brackets but no luck so far. Thanks for info and picks from you all
