Questions
I'm looking at two different 148 loaders. One comes off a 4440, one comes off a 3020. I have a 2955. What kind of issues am I looking at with the mounts. Do either of these tractors have the same size as my 2955? The 3020 and 4440 used the same mounts, but the mount would have been trimmed for the 3020. For your 2955 you need the utility tractor mounting brackets: AW20617 and AW20618.Reference
