Skid Steer Quick Attach Plate Specs?

[Rio_Grande]

I have an actual front attach off of a skid steer that I purchased to adapt my tractor to this syatem. My wife however talked me into buying a universal mount type. It is not as heavy as the universal mount I bought but needs the pins and arms to be a workable unit. I paid 50.00 for it and would be happy to get it back.

This is the tractor side of the quick attach and would require some fabrication to mount up.

I ended up buying the pre built unit and while I definately see some manufacturer issues, I am happy with the unit. It is kinda heavy but on my 57hp international it is not as big of an issue as if I had a compact.

Try Horst welding. That is what I used here.

I cut a sheet of plywood the same size as the opening in my loader bucket, then cut wood blocks with the same angles as my tractor side for the corners. Glued these in place on the corners. This became a jig for welding. To make a bobtatch for an attchment I clamp the plywod to the attachment, clamp four strips of steel to the jig, and start welding. Before clamping the bottom strip I cut the two notches for the retaining pins.

This method keeps the parts aligned and square.

The bottom line is, use your bob-tatch bucket as a female pattern, make a male jig of steel or wood that just fits into your bobtatch opening, then use the male jig to hold your parts as you weld them to your new attachment.

Sorry, no pictures.

So, if I read the right, you just use the top and bottom pieces that are on an angle? skipping the big, heavy, flat plate? I guess this would work with implements that have a flat back on them and cut out some weight.

Well, depends on the implement.

This one required a few extra pieces of metal. This thing lets me put 3pt stuff on the FEL frame. I clamped the jig to the I-match hitch, and added the strips of metal.

The beauty of the jig is that you spend much less time measuring and checking for square, etc. You measure and make the jig one time, and after that every project you make fits perfect.

Do you have anymore pics or info on the "male" end of the quick attach.
I was looking to buy one but so far the cheapest price is $750. and to me that doesn't seem so cheap.
They do look that hard to make [last famous words ]

Thanks Shane

Thanks Shane

I bought A new solid plate adapter & built my male end to fit it. After that I fabbed the rest to fit.Heres 2 more pics.
