Last fall I started thinking about installing a loader on the Mitsubishi MT 2201. The tractor is light in the front so I had to add weights when most anything was on the back. Figured the loader would kill two birds at once.
This loader showed up on Craig's list and the seller offered to deliver it when he was going by the next week. Doesn't appear to have been abused and the cylinder seals appear to be good. Was holding my breath and hoping it would fit this tractor. You can't tell it from this photo but the front axle is set back on these tractors making the turning radius very short and handy.
So far anyway it appears to be a perfect fit. Drove the tractor into it and there is clearance all the way around. Fabricated a cross member and tacked everything together
No sooner was it on the floor and the welding inspector shows up unannounced. Thankfully she signed off on the work so far.
So here is a photo of it setting on the cross member. It was so hot and humid today that things progressed pretty slow with lots of fluid breaks and to cool off.
Tomorrow it is suppose to cool off to the middle 70's so I'm hoping to get the mounting done.
