YFL 650 loader and YM1700

[ProFirefighter]

Hey, I hope that I can get some input on putting a loader on my YM1700. I have found a YFL 650 loader pretty cheap. I don't know if it will work or not. The main mounting bracket is going to have to be modified to bolt up and it needs new hoses. I have looked at several net sites that have good pics and write-ups. I'm not sure if this loader is the proper size. Any input will be appreciated.

I don't know anything about the loader.. but keep this in mind.. your 1700 is 2wd and no power steering. Adding a loader to that will make for a tad harder steering. If you plan on doing quite a bit of loader work. the unit will take a performance hit.. though will work. If you just plan on using it as a maneuer bucket.. or powered wheel barrow.. it should do fine. Lots of antique tractors are running around with 'jungle-gym' style loaders with 2wd and no power steering, and SA cyls giving you power up and gravity down, and manual bucket trip via a cable.... not great.. but makes a decent motorized wheel barrow.
