Quick Attach Plate

[johnnylight]

Looking for a Q/A plate for my NH 14LA F/E/L -- for sno-way plow conversion

Where can I find one?
I have seen a few on Ebay not sure which one to buy.

all suggestions would be appreciated

ATI makes good quality quick attachment plate. Any of the equipment auctions like alex lyons or petrowski's usually have q/a plates, or thru a local tractor dealer. There was a post here on TBN a while ago with dimensions to make your own. Cheers

I bought a couple of these and they fit well and were not disappointing but it would depend on what you were going to do with it. I made a SS quick attach by 3Point hitch adapter so that I can use my pig pole, Sub soiler and such on the FEL.

dex3361,

That's the one. (Nice price)
I'll have to find out if it will fit on my NH14LA loader.

Thanks

I'll check out ATI -never thought of the auctions.

Thanks

Update: I called and order the one from ebay "KFI" SKID STEER MOUNTING PLATE
they said it's universal--I hope it fits.

The KFI plates are a good bargain... high quality and reasonable price.

Just a bit of advice from experience... the plate as you receive it will be flat and square... the plow mount you are welding it on might not be. I welded one onto a fork frame that I had fabricated... welded one side fine, and the bottom of the other side was touching the fork frame fine, but there was about 3/16" space between the frame and the plate at the top. I welded the bottom and then used a large clamp to pull the plate up to the frame at the top and then welded it. When I went to hook it up to my tractor, I found that my method had twisted the plate slightly and it made it hard to make the pin engage on one side. Lesson learned, leave the plate square and fill in gaps at weld points with weld, reinforcement, etc., whatever it takes. If I do another, I will probably attach the plate to the tractor side, engage the pins fully, and then tack the implement onto the plate. Remove the whole assembly and finish welding... I think this would keep it as square as possible so it lines up properly with the tractor side.

I don't know how they compare but there's also these.

westbrooklawn,

Thanks for the advice it's very helpful.
I was planning on cutting the mount plate off the plow mount and welding it on the new plate. HF has a saw that cuts through metal --well we will see.

hopefully this thread will help members looking for Q/A plate.
the link that dex pasted has all the info:ATTACHMENT MOUNT PLATE SKIDSTEER BOBCAT SKID STEER #050 - eBay (item 170408706111 end time Nov-28-09 07:02:30 PST)

I order it direct from there phone number on the ebay page not through ebay.
I recevied a email confirmation for the order --very professional.
