Will a 7209 quick detach loader fit my Ford 4610 SU tractor?

I know the front end of an SU is not designed for a loader, but the 7209 looks like a pretty light duty loader.

There is one for sale on CL near me and it has my interest.
 
The parts site shows that there was a specific mounting kit for that loader for the 2810, 2910, 3910 and 4610SU model tractors. Depending on which model tractor it came off of, if you get the mounting brackets from the seller you may be able to bolt it right up, or you may need to get the mounting brackets specific to the 2810/2910/3910/4610SU models.
 
Those pictures show it on a 4600, not a 4000, but the 3 cylinder 4000 had the same basic mounting points for a loader as the 4600. The 4610 was slightly different, and the 7209 loader had one mounting kit for the 4000 & 4600 and another for the 4610, and the one I already mentioned for the 2810/2910/3910/4610SU.

From what I can tell the loader was the same for all of them but they had different mounting kits, which are the brackets for mounting the loader to the tractor. They are way different between the 4610SU and the 4000 because of the difference in the steering systems between those models of tractors (single sided steering arm with p/s cylinder integrated into the column on the 4000 & 4600 vs. double sided steering with the external steering cylinders on your SU) and the front axle support (bolster) length, so you would need to hunt down a mounting kit from a 2810/2910/3910/6410SU to get it to work.

Here's the picture form the parts site for the mounting kit for the 2810/2910/3910/4610SU:

And here's the picture of the mounting kit for the 4000/4600:

Yeah, I studied the parts diagrams, way too different. Plus is looks like that tractor has a home grown hydraulics controls setup on it. Looks messy...

Thanks for the help.
