Thumb grapple install need help

Looks nice. You made your own bulkhead. I'm going to try a Cushing clamp mounted on unistrut. My intentions are to never take the loader off. If it has to come off it will be a mechanic splitting the tractor. I need to.get a hose sleeve to protect them.

Yes, I TIG welded up two pieces of the Kubota sheet metal on the edges to make the bulkhead the thickness that it is. and I also welded up the copper crush washers to tighten up everything when I miscalculated the thickness of the bulkhead.

You can read about it here if you want.
