Source for Deere Quick tach mounts

[whitedogone]

Does anybody have a source for deere style quick tach mounts? I'd like to mod a set of forks to fit the front of my deere and would think it would be a lot easier to buy than to fab these parts.

What model loader do you have? I know the hooks and pins that are welded on the bucket for my 200CX are available through Deere as service parts, seems like I found them in the catalog at one point when I was considering building some attachment. I think those same parts will fit a 300 series loader too, but others may know for sure.

Found them again: For a 200X or 200CX loader:

Hooks: W43359
Pin/spud: W47211

Looks like the same 2 part numbers show up on the 300, 300X, and 300CX too. Not sure about anything bigger than that. I think the same style was used on the 410 or 420 that came before the 200 and 300 loaders...

The hooks and pins are available through JDParts, but the price is up dramatically over the last few years...It's the same for all the loaders BTW. Here are the numbers:
W43359 HOOK, BUCKET ADD28.69 USD 57.38 USD
W47211 PIN, BUCKET ADD34.43 USD 68.86 USD


When I bought mine, I think I paid $30 for two hooks and two pins!

The pins are easily made however from CAT3 pins from TSC or wherever, and the hooks can be made from 1 1/2" angle iron...

Ouch!! The lower pins seem easy enough to fab. Not too sure about making the top "hooks though.

I can draw you a picture maybe tomorrow...It's easy with the 1 1/2" angle like I said...

There is also a great picture in one of the "fork" threads that shows this method, but I do not remember who the poster was...I will search later-gotta go now

Read THIS thread and look at the pictures user "Sticky" posted, he did the angle iron method...there was another with better pics but i can't seem to find it.

This outfit is using a different quick hook arrangement to fit there forks on JD loaders. Here is the pics:

Thanks, I wonder if deere heat treats theirs or not. I think there would be a lot of stress on those angles/clips.
