The JD 48 loader was the earlier model JD loader made to the middle to big row crop tractors. It only had a single bucket cylinder mounted in the middle of the bucket. This really limited the roll back force. It also made that mid mount be a weak link in on the loader. You see the majority of them with the bucket cylinder mount broke all to heck.
The JD 148 loader replaced the JD 48 loader. The main improvement was twin bucket cylinders. The JD 148 loader was built for close to 15 years. This became the loader of choice on the JD 3020 and JD 4020.
I do not see why you think you need axle brackets on a JD 148 loader that is going on a Waterloo built tractor. If you have the mounting bracket bolted on correctly with the mid support in place you will break the loader in two pieces before you break anything on the tractor behind the clutch housing. Now if your putting a JD 148 loader on a JD Mannheim built tractors like a JD 2840 or 2940 then you would need some axle supports. They do not have full frame rails.
Now for your first question. A JD 148 loader will bolt right on your JD 2510. You have plenty of loader for that tractor. I have mounted JD 146 loaders on JD 2520 and that was a better fit. The trouble is there where many fewer JD 146s loader built than the JD 148 loader.
So forget the darn axle brackets. You see them on the after market loaders because they did not have strong enough mounts to handle the stress without the axle brackets.
