From your YouTube video, frame with quick attach :

View attachment 663806


BFreaky's is the same style frame, there is no quick attach on it:

:thumbsup:Now I see the light, as usual I was missing something, and I'm not even going to ask how you got that picture off a youtube video cause if I did I wouldn't understand it............

Well done ! The light is always at the end of the tunnel, it's just that the path sometimes is a head scratchier

I can't quite figure out the linkage there in the front of the loader. Are those forward half/cylinders used for adjusting the bucket angle while the bucket is being used....or are they for latching the quick change to the bucket?

Cylinders are used for angling of the bucket. I'm not sure what's puzzling here...paralell linkage?

Yes. I think I have it now. It's just all unfamiliar to me.

I cant quite put my finger on it but something tells me your going this direction at all.......

BFreaky is using the Euro Style quick attach for the loader, instead of the Skidsteer quick attach. It's very common here. It's stronger and safer than the Skidsteer quick attach.

Basically, there is two hooks on top that engage on the top round bar. Then two eyes on the bottom, where two pins lock it in place. These pins are often moved by a single lever in the middle or on some commercial versions, it's spring loaded and locks automatically once the implement falls into place.

Here is the back of the bucket:


And the quick attach with the single lever in the middle and the linkage to the pins.
