Which one is right? One set will place the loader further back and the other further forward. Haven't found any info out there on this. Seller has never run into this either and always sold whatever brackets came with the loader never knowing there was a difference. Anyone have an idea?

I have a 158, but the book covers both. I do remember that, I think, they made one set of brackets and you cut them to length for a certain model.
I went and got the book. It only says that the brackets need 6 in. Cut off the rear for 2520, 3020. And 4030 tractors. No other dimensions.

The brackets do not appear cut or modified. I'm aware of the trimming needed for certain models but that's off the rear of the bracket. They haven't been cut. The guy has an uncle that also deals and we went to look at brackets. We found other sets at 63' as well that didn't appear modified. I have the manual for the loader but there's nothing on length.
Other than trimming for 3020's and such. Again, they don't appear modified. I'm 90 percent that. If they were, the front ears would have been cut, the tubes cut and ears rewelded. I'm hoping someone out there has a 4020 and 148 loader that can measure!

The distance from ear hole to first hole for loader. Thanks again!

Thanks again! The parts book shows all different p/n's for the 148, 158 and 168 loaders. It is possible the other brackets you are seeing are for 158 or 168 loaders and those would likely be longer because of the longer booms.
Just a guess though.

Our 4020/148 is 20 miles away, thinking the side frames don't quite reach to the end of the frame rails by the clutch.

It came off of a 4020, and I did not cut the brackets (moved my step instead, and just let the extra bracket hang). I can measure tonight, let me know exactly what you want measured.

If you can measure from tip of ear to very back end that would be great. Also from the middle of ear hole to very front of where mast foot sits. Thanks do much!

It is on the tractor now. I'm remembering a front cross piece, two long pieces that run along the frame rails, and a piece across the bottom that ties it all together (and gets in the way when you change the oil).
Then, of course, the loader itself. I'll measure from where the sides join the cross piece, back to the mast?
And/or let me know what the ear hole is. I also have a manual (at home also), so if there is a page number that explains this please let me know.

Ear has two elongated holes. If you could measure from middle of hole to the hole where the mast bolts into horizontal part of bracket that would be great! I guess you could measure to vertical part where mast bolts to back too. In your pic it looks like you added two extra bolts there. Either measurement will help me locate it. Thanks so much!
