Does any body know of a source for the "weld-on "hooks" to make other attachments for the 300 loader? I can make my own, but it would be easier to buy "ready-made" if they aren't too high. ~~ grnspot110
I thought about those too.
What I decided was to make them by cuting a pipe section and welding parts to it. Not as hard as it sounds, maybe a half hour job.
I thought so too.
But over the years, there have been several posts in TBN threads on these brackets. I think it is the best system going. Light weight (especially compared to the skidsteer bracket offered as a Deere option) and easy to attach.
Maybe a search will pop up some good ideas for OP.
You can get them from JD parts. A couple years back I got those brackets and the lower pins. I got them for 200 loader, but I think it's the same parts for the 300. I think the whole set was only around $60. I definitely thought that was easier than building the parts.
Thanks for the #, I'm working on a set for a 5' boom, but don't have all the iron I need on hand. Have to wait on that 'til Monday. Found the hook on jdparts, $11.99, not really that bad!
I'm cutting up a 3-pt boom I had to make the 5' boom, 3-pt part will make the base for a weight unit. I've got 70# of railroad rail & 2-100# suitcase weights, will make a good start! ~~ grnspot110
