Kelley 800 loader on John Deere 2020 mounts

I am looking for a mounting kit to mount a Kelley 800 loader on a John Deere 2020 tractor. We had it mounted on a IH 464, but it died and would like to switch it to the JD. Kelley evidently stopped making loaders and their mounting kits to concentrate on back hoes, and no longer has any stock or even the drawings to manufacture the kit. Does anybody have one that we could measurements from? Ideas? It's a nice loader, and I'm trying to avoid springing for a JD loader(yes, I'm a cheap skate).
 
Can't help you with the mounts but make sure you change your valve over to closed center when you get it mounted.
 
Kelley Manufacturing Corporation (years ago it was C. C. Kelley & Son) in Mishawaka, IN sold everything at auction in October of 2014. All existing parts and all complete pieces of equipment were to be sold. Supposedly somebody bought the rights to the name and the equipment designs, but I haven't heard anything more about anyone continuing to make any piece of machinery or parts for what was once was made by Kelley.

Thanks for the input. I got the same impression about their web site. Amazes me that somebody can stay in business these days and not at least maintain a basic web presence with current data.
I've been avoiding blocking up the loader to the JD to see how it would fit, hoping that luck would have somebody coming up with a spare mount or at least the drawings. We may just reverse engineer it or sell the Kelley 800 and get a proper JD loader. The guys at Hamilton Equipment in PA helped me a lot calling Kelley and trying to help me out.
