Converting J.D. 70 loader to Quick Attach?

[kennyd]

That is exactly how my bucket attaches on my 4110 JD. You can even buy the hooks and pins from JD Parts to save the trouble of making them, I bought them for my forklift that I just finished. Will have pics soon...

Here is some pics of the forklift attachment I built. the frame is made from 3/8 plate and 1/4 inch channel. the hooks are made from 1x3x1/4 inch flat bar. The forks are made from 2x4x1/4 inch tubing. The fist set of forks I made were from 2x4 channel and they were not very strong. The 2x4 tubing is alot stronger. It will hold anything the tractor can pick up. If you look close, you can see I have added some pieces to attach a boom pole to the frame of the forklift attachment. I built a 10 foot boom pole to use when I set the I built trusses for my 40 x 60 shop. The walls are 14 feet high and 20 feet at the peak. It was no problem to set the trusses with this setup. I will post a few pics I took back in the spring befroe I was finished with my shop. Here is the first pic of the forklift attachment.
