THIESSEN TILLAGE L2800 Frame Mount
Product Information
The Kubota L & MX Series Frame Mount is a versatile attachment that can be installed on a tractor with or without a loader. It is designed to provide a secure and stable mounting point for the side lift. The frame mount consists of a main green frame, a 90-degree formed green bracket, a gray plate with mounting holes, and various bolts and washers for installation.
Product Usage Instructions
- If your tractor is NOT equipped with a loader
- Position the main green frame on the right side of the tractor, as viewed from the operator’s seat.
- Secure the frame using two 16x40mm bolts and two 16mm washers.
- If your tractor DOES have a loader
- Remove the bottom two bolts from the loader that would be in the position shown.
- Install the frame using two 16x55mm bolts through the green bracket and the loader frame. Do not tighten these yet.
- Next, install the 90-degree formed green bracket on the opposite (left) hand side
- Use 40mm bolts for an application without a loader.
- Use 55mm bolts for an application with a loader (also remove the existing two bolts in the loader frame on this side).
- Install the u-bolt with two 3/8 nylock nuts and two 3/8 tension washers.
- Tighten the four 16mm bolts to 225Nm (165ftlbs) and the two 3/8 nylock nuts to 40Nm (30ftlbs).
- The gray plate with mounting holes allows for adjustable positioning
- It can be installed in four positions, moving the attachment point forward or backward, up or down depending on the rotation.
- The gray part can also be slid out to position the side lift optimally.
- Ensure that the gray plate remains as close to the tractor as possible and never exceeds 350mm (14 inches) from the edge of the green tube to the gray plate.
- Once you have settled on a position, tighten the two 12mm bolts on the opposite side from the image to 90Nm (65ft-lbs).
- The frame mount is now ready for the side lift to be installed.
It is important to regularly check all fasteners after the first hour of use to ensure that nothing has come loose. Daily inspections will help catch any small issues before they become problems.

- 1x 19mm or 3/4″ wrench or socket
- 1x 24mm or 15/16” wrench or socket
- 1x 14mm or 9/16” socket or wrench (14mm is arguably too tight, but would work in a pinch)
If the tractor is NOT equipped with a loader, then install the main green
frame onto the tractor using two of the 16x40mm bolts and two of the 16mm
washers as shown on the right side of the tractor as viewed from the operators
seat.
If the tractor DOES have a loader, remove the bottom two bolts that would be
in the position shown from the loader and install the frame using two of the
16x55mm bolts, through the green bracket and the loader frame.
Do not tighten these yet.
- Next, install the 90degree formed green bracket as shown on the opposite (left) hand side as shown. You will need the 40mm bolts for an application with no loader and the 55mm bolts for an application with a loader(also remove the existing two bolts in the loader frame on this side).
- Then install the u-bolt with the two 3/8” nylock nuts and two 3/8” tension washers.
- Tighten the four 16mm bolts to 225Nm (165ft-lbs) and the two 3/8” nylock nuts to 40Nm (30ft-lbs).
- The gray plate with mounting holes is offset from the 2” tube which allows you to install it in four positions moving the attachment point a bit further forward or backwards, up or down depending on the rotation.
- The gray part can also be slid out to position the side lift in an optimal position. It should remain as close to the tractor as possible and should never exceed 350mm (14”) from the edge of the green tube to the gray plate.
- Once you have settled on a position tighten the two 12mm bolts (opposite side from image) to 90Nm (65ft-lbs)
- The frame mount is now ready for the side lift to be installed.
