As part of my ongoing work designing new attachments for the LEGO Technic 42209 Volvo L120 Front End Loader, I’ve recently turned my attention to the rear of the model. To support rear-mounted tools and accessories, I first needed a reliable and tidy way to mount them—without making major changes to the original build. This mount is an improvement on my previous one, as it now also includes a small LA, to allow the rear mounted attachments to also be lifted.
My main goal was to create a strong and functional rear mounting system that required minimal modifications to the stock L120 design. This would allow me to easily return the model to its standard configuration whenever needed.
After testing a few approaches, I settled on the solution pictured below. The only modification from the standard build is the replacement of two black 2L pins with blue 3L pins (highlighted in red), which provide extra reach for securing beams to the rear chassis. Additional beams underneath help stabilize the structure and tie it into the lower beam.
This setup gives me a solid foundation for building and swapping a range of rear attachments—without compromising the original look or structure of the L120.
