Where to get a skidsteer style quik attach bracket

[1savoy]

Larry, Glenn, and Dummy,

Stopped by the local Bobcat dealer on my way home today and it sounds as though I can get the adapter plate pretty cheap. He said off the top of his head he thought they were $60-$70, but he is currently waiting for some more to come in. This sounds a little too cheap, but even if the price is higher, it still should be a good way to go. Thanks Glenn. This dealer also had two of the quick attach for the loader end. They were buried in the back of his shop under some pallets, etc. I told him I would stop back and dig them out from under the pile and get some measurements. It looks like they have been there for a while, so I hope the price is decent. I will see how much modifying it will take to get one of these to fit. Thanks again to everyone for all the help. I will let you know how I make out.

How easily do the pins (wedges) retract? Marked in yellow on photo. Had one that got bound up from non-use, ended up cutting the bucket brackets off, removing the qa from the machie, torching out the wedge and replacing. Not a lot of fun if you can avoid it. On mine, buried inside are two grease zerks to lube the wedge.

Dummy,

Thanks for the great info and picture!!. I will take a good look at the pin/ wedge on these quick attach brackets when I get back over there. If I remember I will take my camera with me and can post a picture.

Thanks again,
Russ
