Find a metal shop and have them make you one, that is what I did

You won't need the curl function from the 422/425 since you already have it on the 1430. But you will need the locking mechanism from the 422/425 to lock in the implements.

I'd call PowerTrac and get prices for:

- the Quick Attach plate, locking tabs and Quick Attach cylinder and hoses for a 422/425.
- a blank female Quick Attach plate for a 1430.

Then I'd use some stand-offs and weld the 422/425 quick attach system to the front of the female 1430 plate, being sure to leave enough room for the cylinder to operate, and enough room to allow you to hook under the lips of the 422/425 attachments.

With all that said, how many implements from the 422/425 series are you planning on using with the 1430?

If it's only a few, it may be a lot cheaper to just have some 1430 female plates fabbed up and attached to the 422/425 implements.

The 425 male qa setup was 375 last year plus shipping. Cylinder included.

Fwiw, I found that the swivel eyes the male qa plate attaches to the arms with is compatible with the geometry of the 1850.

This tells me they probably use the same jig to fit up and weld all of them in manufacturing...

I converted the screws to ag pins and added qd's to the lines so the plates become attachments themselves. I can swap the 1850 plate to 425 and vice versa.

Obviously there's limited circumstances I do this in... Mostly be careful the weight and traction don't bend your stuff.

I think the 1445 and 1460 are different due to lift capacity
