JD Quick attach backhoe bucket

[KRH]

Anybody know where I can buy the quick attach plates/ears to convert a pin on backhoe bucket to quick attach for my JD 110 tlb??? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Someone like Weldco Beales that makes heavy equipment attachments. Your JD construction dealer probably knows where to get them.

Northern has them, I saw them in there catalog recently.

Are you starting from scratch with a pin on bucket now and wanting to change to the quick attach set up? I had to do this a few years ago when I needed to add the PA30 auger. I bought a quick attach adapter plate that pinned to the backhoe this stays on all the time. This in turn mates with the quick attach buckets (late model), and other attachments like the auger and hammer.

If you are looking for new ears to put on an existing bucket you may have to cut them out yourself. The ears would not be too difficult to cut out from my experience. I built an adapter coupler for a members Bobcat auger a few years ago. So while I have the ear profiles for the attachment plate side I have not laid out the curve for the backside to fit a bucket yet. I do have an 18" pin on bucket to convert too.

Here is a picture of the coupler ears when I was making the adapter.

YES!!! I have a pin on bucket which I want to convert to a QA bucket. I talked to a welder. He is goin to trace the ears on one of my QA buckets and cut out them out. He will then just torch off the "pin on" ears and weld on the QA ears.

Thanks for all the responses/ideas. Much appreciated.
