Differences in Quick Attach Bucket Mounts?

[JJZ 109]

Given all the discussion, methinks you are "overengineering" the problem.

I read through a few posts before I realized that this was a 5+ year old discussion. But yes, I think this issue was way over thought.

But was good reading for me. so glad it was re lived..

I have a Quicke (popular in Europe, Bobcat style skid steer attach is largely a North American thing) so none of those things work for me.

On mine the pins cannot pop back up if the egagement lever arms are all the way down. They force the pin to full extension and then overcenter slightly to a hard stop. A spring serves to detent each lever into the engaged/pin forced position. The only way the pin would push out of the slot would be to bend something unless the lever is for some reason not in the overcenter position.

This is the way the QA on my old Bobcat is. Its a 1980 m610. I found a set of forks last Fall at a excellent price so i bought them not even knowing if they would fit. Turns out they do not, i can't get both pins locked down, only one. So i plan to do a little cutting with the torch and widen two slots by 3/4" each and then I'll be good.

I also am looking at welding some pins in the right spots to use my tractors quick hitch to attach the forks to the 3 pt hitch. I figure that could be handy when i need to move something but don't need to lift it very high.
