Most "members" including myself would look at those pics and drawings and be able to make them themselfs without buying the plans!MrJimi said:Why would anyone pay for plans? most members here willingly share their ideas, I do

Do you need the dimensions for Euro standard QA ? Before i cut plates for mine, i measured 3 different brands of loaders to make sure my loader would accept any Euro tool, and that when i sell my bucket, pallet forks i get payd a price, instead of a scrap price
Maybe Euro style with 1000mm center is a bit too wide for the CUT loaders anyhow..

I have a MF 1445 with quick attach bucket. It has 2 pins that are spring loaded that you pull. When you pull the pins you just turn them a little with the handle and they stay open. You drop the attachment and hook the next you want to put on. You hook under it, lift it, then roll it back and both pins spring back into place. I can take pics if anyone would like to see it.

I will take some pics for you guys, just give me a day or two to reinstall the loader, I have the snowblower on now and it would be better pics if you get to see it work.

Looks like you're building more than just the QA

Check out my thread "Front tires for loader". I'm building a loader for my GT with a quick attach feature.
Thought I'd post a few pictures of the QA that I'm making. Still in the rough stage. Some grinding and paint will help a lot. I have to say that I am a big fan of metal cutting hole saws! All of these 3/4" holes (16 so far) in 3/8" and 5/8" plate were made with the same Ridgid hole saw, and it still has a lot of life left. Proper cutting oil certainly helps too. I had to drill 4 holes in my bucket brackets, freehand, with a 3/4" bit and that was not too much fun.
Sweet thing is, the QA actually works (after a little selective grinding here and there). The stops I put under the bottom of the lower link line up the holes so slipping in the pin is a snap. I think it puts the bucket about 3-4" further forward so I may lose a little lifting capacity, but it will make going from the bucket to the forks (which are almost done) quick and easy. Kubota Trax - thanks for a great and simple design and thanks to everyone else for their input. I thought long and hard about the Deere design, but it would have required adding a mounting plate to the bucket brackets which I didn't want to do. This way, if some future owner wants to go back to OEM, he can. BTW, I can't say enough about the HTP 2400 mig I got to do this stuff. That bad boy has some guts.
