JeremyF 13 #1 Posted January 30, 2019 Hello All, I just bought a loader from a fella who said it came off of an old sears tractor. Has anyone had any experience with one of these and if so is it not too bad to mount up to a 520H. Thanks guys! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 16,985 #3 Posted January 30, 2019 Lack of info about it and no pictures makes for only guessing. If it is sized for a garden tractor then the loader should be fine but you will probably need to make a sub-frame or modify the one that came off the Sears. If it was even included with it. Anything is possible with some cutting tools and a welder. Here's a basic drawing I sent someone a while back to show the ARK loader sub-frame. Hope this helps to give you an idea what you may need. fel sub-frame.pdf 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,083 #5 Posted January 31, 2019 As John said, you will need a sub-frame to mount the loader on. The whole idea is to distribute the extra load to the axles and wheels so you don't harm the tractor frame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
