Hello,
Yesterday I built this brush fork for my B2710. There are two 12" long angle irons bolted to the sides of the bucket, creating a 'slot' in each corner that the brushfork slides in or out. At the moment there is no retainer, if I tip the bucket down the fork slides out.
Looking for ideas how to retain it in those slots. I could put a pin and clip in each side, (thats 4 peices) and takes several operations to accomplish each time, and parts can get lost.
I prefer a single operation, and no parts to lose. I want to be able to jump off the tractor and install/un-install so I can choose either the fork or the bucket with ease.
Ideas? There are ways to do this. I'm sure many members have seen (or created) clever quick-release methods and I hope you're willing to share before I choose a substandard method.
The material is 1x2 x .120 rectangular steel tubing. The welder is a Miller Multimatic 200 running on 120v.
