Homemade FEL quick attachment

[Mud Mechanik]

I finally got around to taking a few pictures of my homemade FEL quick attach, I'm not the best welder so don't beat me up too bad about the ugly welds. My previous tractor was a John Deere so I built this one to fit my hay spears and such that I already had.

What locks the bottom pin in place?

There is a hole drilled through it to put in a 3/8" lynch pin.

Here is a picture of the pin with the hole in it.

The only proplem I see is if you already have John Deere attaschments your pin attachment hole is in the wrong place as JD is off to the side , nice job though a lot better then I can do.

You have nothing to apologize about with those beads. I would be concerned that the top might want to straighten out with time and heavy loads. Also, I often have the front wheels pick up when backdragging and that is an awful amount of force to put on a lynch pin.
