QA Coupler Mount

scuvnut · Sep 1, 2009

Any idea where I can pickup a coupler mount. This mount would be on my front boom. I found a picture of one on another thread and included it, but this was fabricated by himself. Any direction where to buy one of these online?

That is mine!

What you need, and I did not know about when I built that was Bulkhead Couplings. You just need to find the right one that matches your hose and QD thread configuration.

Yes, found that on the thread you started - its the only picture of one I could find. I know about the bulkheads, but I need that mounting plate. I don't fabricate, so any idea where I can buy one?

No, no idea where to buy one...
Possibly go to a local machine/welding shop and ask them to make you a plate with two holes in it?

Post your zip code, and possibly a drawing of what you are looking for and I bet someone here on TBN will make one for you. If no one steps up I will.

I'd be happy to help! Built mine to fit the 'line-keepers' on my JD, and used the same mounting bolts!

Only thing is my tractor is fifty miles away, so I'd need a good drawing! ~Scotty

You got a bigger pic of that bracket Scotty?

Thats the only pic I got! I'll try to remember to get some this weekend. I basically took a piece of 2"x2" 1/8" angle, 4"-5" long and 'massaged' it into a mount. Two QD holes on the one surface, and a mounting hole on the other. I then cut a couple slots with a hack saw, and bent the "ears" down so it wouldn't rotate.Then ground the corners round, some paint, and 'finni'! I did have to buy some 'Bulk-Head' fittings, that have jam nuts to mount through to the holes, then just QD's on one side, hoses on the other.~S

I've used these before and they seem to work well. Plus if the hoses get pulled on they will release and not damage the hose.

its a kubota part for my m59 - maybe it it would fit your tractor with mods?

Talk to messicks, they sell kubota and new holland, and their part guys are willing to be creative.

Spud- Here's those other pics. The last one is the left loader arm that shows the line holder. The right side was the same, before I covered it up with the QD holder.

Edit- Sorry Guys, new computer, and I gotta get this 'resizing' figured out! ~S
