Quick Attach Handle Broke...replacement?

[DK35vince]

You should never need to use a cheater bar to close these things. If it doesn't close with hand pressure then something is not lined up properly.

Either that or it needs greased.
If the pins are dry they can be hard to latch/unlatch.

My QA handles are easy to close/open when properly lined up and properly greased. If they are hard to close, I look for the reason. Alignment and needing grease (one time) are the only two reasons I have found for difficulty in operating the QA handles.

Alignment is achieved by "flipping" the attachment so it settles fully and properly into the QA cradle.

Cheater bars....I use all the time, have several different ones, various sizes and lengths, but NEVER considered using them on the QA handles.

Thats a heavy handle

98lbs was a reference to the operator (as in 98lb weakling), not the handle.:laughing:

I agree with Vince and TexasJohn that greasing is also important.
