Working slowly on making an attachment that will allow the backhoe to share attachments with the M59 with KX- miniX attachments. Most will probably be too big but hoping the ripper could help with some delicate maintenance. Also there is wide assortment of tools and cheap ears for other tools.
First made a coupler to fit the KX- attachments.
Not a machinist or professional welder. To give the pucks greater strength, inset into holes in the side plates and that doubled the weld area while giving mechanical strength. Rear DOM tube for attachment pin. Great design but does require all six circles to line up properly. If making more than one, a jig to position and weld would be time well spent.
Now to locate, trim and mount the B26 ears. Probably clamp or tack to check operation with machine.
