Nice job on the quick coupler Paul and 7 lakes. My buddy has one on his excavator and and it makes changing buckets a breeze. 7lakes you might want to upload the file to this thread so ten years from now people won't be asking for it:laughing:

I used the paperclip upload button. It doesn't like the .dxf file upload. It says it is an invalid file type!

You'll likely have to host the files on another site like Google Drive or Dropbox or any of the other file lockers out there, then post a link to wherever you hosted the files here.
Or maybe the admins here could make dxf an acceptable file type for upload here.

Ok, I made a google drive for the files. They are not drawn to deal with kerf of plasma or other torch. If you are using a CNC plasma, remember to deal with your kerf and start points. My kerf was about .1, so my offset was . 05. The holes were plasma cut purposly too tight so I could bore them out to 1.02. The 2 rectangle cross pieces are important to get right. One measured 1.5 X 3.9 the other is 2 X 3.9 you shouldn't need my vectors for that. The 3.9 is vital to both fit over the bucket and also fit within the mechanical thumb area. I used 3/8 steel for everything except the extra spacers around the bucket area. I used .25 steel for that. I used 2-1" X 6.25 hitch pins and lathed off the collar on one of them. Then used 2-1" shaft collars on the lathed one. I will have to make one of those again for any other attachments I make as they are a sacrificial addition to the system and this does not alter the tractor as purchased in any way. There were not any tricks to welding it, that part goes pretty well.
So far I have only uploaded .dxl files, but if there are other file types wanted, let me know and I will add them to the drive. Or, if you want one made, my students are thinking about starting to make them and then you can purchase to support my class. I am a high school shop teacher. It is looking like they will be about $150-200.

Sorry, paul. I wasn't trying to impede. To be honest I called you one time and tried to buy one, but was told you weren't in production.
I am not trying to make money at all, I don't actually want to make them. I want to share information that is why I am sharing the files. To honor paul, I won't make any.
