SSQA for a Mahindra Max 28

[Sfrankland]

So my local dealer has just informed me that Mahindra has no plans to build a skid steer quick attach for the Max series in the near future so I have to build my own. First thing I did was use the plasma torch to cut the mounting plates of the bucket and clean then up to reuse. Once cleaned up I put them back on and started cutting the the rest of the parts. More pictures to follow tomorrow.

Got it just about finished today. Need to pickup a tap so I can thread the holes for the grease nipples and finish weld the threaded rod onto the pins.

Added a 2" receiver to the SSQA and got it all painted. The only issue is the handles to release the bucket should of had more of an offset to better clear the bucket during hookup and removal.

Hey, nice job:thumbsup: The SSQA on my Mahindra 5525 is dealer installed. Your's looks just as good.

The clamp handles on my SSQA are bent to clear the bucket or whatever attachment I hook onto the SSQA.

 

[Sfrankland]

Mine are bent as well but could be bent to allow more offset. They work great but are just a little to close for comfort.

Nice job. Must be quite the feeling cutting into a pretty much brand new tractor! Well done.

Cutting into a new tractor was the easy part getting everything back in working order was the nerve wracking part. A plasma torch is a wonderful tool.
