Jb 4310
Where do you get the JD Quick attach bracket that you used on your 3 ph loader adapter? It looks like a part that can be directly purchased from John deere.
I would like to build this adapter for my 3320. Thanks for the photos that is a very useful adapter. I can see many uses.
If your talking about those 2 carriers that you normally see on the front of your loader. Yes they are JD parts. These came on the early 300cx loader, they were pron to breaking due to a poor design at the bottom where the retainer pin went. I heard alot of talk on this site about the problem. I guess it was like a recall.
Even though mine didn't break I went to the dealer and told them to get me the replacement carriers, they said fine but bring us the broken ones, I told them mine were fine but I want the new ones sitting on MY shelf, so in case they break on the week end I don't have any down time. They gave me the new ones and said when you swap them bring us the old ones, well I didn't swap them for a year, when I asked them if they still needed them they said I could keep them.
So they didn't cost me anything, I was just experimenting when I made that contraption, it will handle any load that the rest of the tractor can handle. Even though this was super simple and the other parts cost very little, I would think there would be a cheaper way, as those carriers might be pricey, as everything JD is.
I would start with a 3 pt adaptor plate and mod the blank/front side to engage front implements. Something like a solid short piece of round stock to go under the top hooks and just need a hole for the bottom pins to go thru and be retained.
I think that's what JohninCT was recommending in the previous post.
Here's a link to the thread I started when I built it if you think you wanted to go that route.
