148 Loader fit on a 2955

My dealer is unable to answer this question. Will a JD148 loader fit on a JD 2955? The loader brackets are currently on a 4430. So I need to know if the brackets can be modified to work with a JD 2955? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 148/158 manual has a hand written entry (by from discussions) that they can be mounted on tractors up through 4255/4455. A more recent manual than issue J2 might be more specific. I'd think if the width is the same, the brackets might need to be cut like for a 3020.

Yes, it will fit, but if I remember correctly the frame for the loader goes all the way to the rear axle.

A 148 loader can be put on your 2955 but you will need a dedicated utility tractor mounting setup. As one poster mentioned the frames will go all the way to the rear axle. You currently have the Waterloo mountings if you have the loader on a 4430 right now. You will either have to do some fabricating on your current mounts or find some utility mountings. Mike

Mike & Mark are correct on mounting brackets going to rear axle on 2955 to help eliminate clutch housing from cracking/breaking.
