Definately time for a quick tach plate for the loader

[scott_vt]

The 2 SSQA plates came in this afternoon, great job on the fast shipping ETA!

Good Afternoon Happy Gilmore,
I got one from Ted at Everything Attachments a few years ago along with a new 6' bucket, very pleased with it !

Glad to hear, looking forward to getting it. I have enough of pin on buckets/forks etc

The SSQA adapter for the 7310 loader came yesterday from WR Long. I mounted it up today, I had the ears cut off my 7' bucket and the SSQA plate welded on today. Just got in from putting the bucket on. Man is that a lot easier.

I have just one question as I've never had a SSQA before, always pin ons. Is it normal for there to be approximately 1" of gap on either side of the welded on bucket plate and the SSQA mount on the loader?

All of my attachments have a little play on the sides. That's why there is a slot on the bottom of the plate instead of a hole for the pins to fit in. Otherwise trying to hit it just perfect so the pins would seat would be a pain.

Thank you, I appreciate it, I was thinking so, but wasn't sure.

The 7' bucket is what I use for snow, it's a bit big for much else on this tractor. I have a 6 footer I need to have a SSQA plate welded on to and plan on adding a tooth bar to it. I'll probably get another PTB. I also need to get a plate for the rock bucket, forks and I'll be in good shape.

Figured I'd post a couple late night pics

Yep, side gap is no problem. What you don't want is too much gap at the bottom.

That gap can allow the plate to slide up and come off on one side, bending the SSQA, or in my case bending the top lip of the attachment plate and came completely off.

Top and bottom fit is nice and tight. I'm going to drop the forks off today.

Good.

Need pictures in action, after the plate is welded on.

Once you go quick attach you don't look back, was up in the air about what to do on my tractor and glad I finally decided to go ahead and convert. I bought a plate off ebay and cut the ears off my bucket and welded them on everything went pretty smooth and being able to switch from bucket to forks in less then a minute is priceless!
