Anyone know what the specifications are for MF Bucket ears or where to by them. (OK...so I don't know what they are really called but I am referring to the plates welded on to the back of the bucket that allow you to hook up to the MF Pin quick Hitch.)

If you have the MF version of the quick pin connections, all you have to do when you order an attachment is to tell them that you want the attachment to attach to the model of loader which you have. They don't need to know that you have a quick hitch.
If you are trying to fabricate an attachment of your own please disregard the above.

I am trying to fabricate my own. Seems like somebody should know the specs. I have tried two dealers and tried to reach MF/AGCO directly without success. I am not comfortable trying just to measure it due to how precise the measurements need to be.

I have fabricated my own pieces and you are right; they are a PITA because they need to be very precise. I ended up taking some 3x3 x1/4" angles and tack welded them back to back so I could drill them as precisely as possible. even with all my precautions I have to use 3/4" pins in the bottom instead of the 1" because it was just impossible to get the 1" pins lined up. Next time I try this I think I will tack everything together hanging off the loader first.
