QA Blanks

Is it possible to buy Quick Attach blanks anywhere? And if so, how much do they usually run - anyone know?

Thanks

There are a bunch of companies online (eBay for instance) that sell them. Many sell them on eBay. I could of sworn there was a welder in the Concord NH area that built grapples and such that sold/built them, but I can't find that thread anymore. I think if search on quick attach plates you will get plenty of hits.

I bought a 4 X 8 foot sheet of 3/8 plate and They sheared it for me and I made my own. The ones you buy will be about 1/4 inch thick and I am into overkill.
Should be readily available at any skid steer site like
Skid Steer Attachments - Bobcat Skidsteer Loader Equipment & Accessories - John Deere Case Mustang Gehl
or ebay. And they run around around $100. to $150. read made for you to weld your goodies on them

If you look in my gallery, you will see how I made mine, real easy and very strong

I got mine at qualityweldingservice.com -- I bought a split one but they have the full ones for $150 + $60 shipping

Thanks all. Sorry about the double post - not sure how that happened.

I've also looked for QA blanks and the best deal I found was the one Mike listed. You do need to be careful to check if you are getting 1/4 inch or 3/8th inch and whether you need full or split style. I would imagine that 1/4 inch is plenty for all but the biggest tractors/loaders as the 3/8th would be used on much more powerful skid steer loaders.

Charles, if you ask a mod, they may be able to merge both threads together for you. There is good info in both of these.
And a backing plate is not hard to make.
