SSQA to JDQA

[catdozer]

While mowing today at the farm, I needed to do some pothole fixing but didn't have the bucket nor the JD 3203, but the 3203 bucket was there, I grabbed that and scooped up asphalt and went proceeding to spread, but got me wondering if anybody made a bracket to fit SSQA to JDQA? All I need to do is make something for bottom to hook to. Suggestions anyone?

A 2 or 3 in. piece of flat stock maybe 3/8 in. thick to go between the pins and some angle iron with cutouts for the bobtach lower lock pins to grab.

Would it interfere with the JDQA if you welded flat stock to bottom of the bucket protruding out far enough to mate with the bottom of the SSQA and cut holes for the pins?

I have a set of Horst forks for my JD 790 w/300 loader. I've been thinking about buying a SSQA mounting plate for my bobcat and fabricating the front of it to hook up to the JDQA of the forks.

Add more flat plate of equal thickness of the SSQA mount plates to the SSQA mount plates with holes cut out to accommodate the lower JD pins.

Add some gussets to the plate above and below the pin holes for a little more strength with holes in the gussets for the linch/keeper pin to hold the bucket on.

Clear as mud, but sure can be done it looks like

I was thinking about taking a plate, about 5 inches tall and the length of the bottom pins and drill holes for the pins on the JD bucket, then weld the bottom lip on the plate for the SSQA pins. The top hooks very well. And just need the adapter for the bottom. I don't want to weld every attachment, just a adapter to fit all. Should be a pretty simple build. that way I just undo the two clips pull off the adapter and put it on other JDQA attachments. Might be something to sell.
