quick tach bucket?

I'm guessing you'll have to build the bracket that fastens to your FEL arms. Build it to fit SSQA equipment and you're in.

That would be ok, I'm always up for melting steel. Keeps me sharp!

I have not looked at what is available but ovrszd is probably right. You MIGHT luck out and find an adapter that would mate with your loader on one side and have skid-steer plates on the other side. If you could find that, you would then need to weld a bracket on the back side of the adapter plate to mate with your center cylinder. There are several companies in the 3rd party adapter plate business. Spartan looks like a good prospect at John Deere, New Holland, Case, kubota, Tractor Adapters (but as you've heard about many things -- they ain't cheap.) Another choice may be Compact / Front End Loader Converter Attachment - Quick Attach Attach-All by Quick Attach Attachments LLC for Quick Attach brand.

p.s.: The Spartan unit says it is a "universal" adapter.

The more I look at it, the more I think it'll be easier than I initially thought to adapt one to fit. All I really need to do is find a good solid piece of steel tubing, likely square or rectangular for greater surface area, and weld it between the two upper points for a two-cylinder dump model, weld on my mounting ear for the cylinder and I'll be pretty much golden.

Thanks for the info, fellas.

PS- finding a bolt-on one probably won't happen, as my tractor/loader assembly is from 1964
