This is the coupler mount that I made to mount on the loader arms.

This project is for a snow plow that I am making also, I needed a remote to operate the angle of the plow. I may also build a grapple for the bucket in the future.

Here is the Diverter mounted to the inside of the right mast, the is still plenty of clearance to get the loader on and off.

I still have to wire the switch on the tractor and install a relay for this and future ROPS lights. The relay will protect the ignition switch from overheating.
I will post more pics when this is done and show the loader on the tractor.

Thanks to all those who helped me do this by just sharing thier knowledge and experience with this board /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Sure BigAl, I guess I should have put this in the original post...

Total cost for the project is about $300.00 or so...

Here is a link to the Diverter at the SurplusCenter
