Quick attach on a New Holland Workmaster 55

[MGP4506]

I bought a Workmaster 55 used for a great deal. 1 prior owner (bought unseen). He said it had a skid steer quick attach on the loader. This is what was on it when I got it. This does somewhat work on my skid steer quick attachments I had but I found and issue with some of them falling off when I dump them fully. Can anyone tell me what type of quick attach this is. It is not anything like the others I have and it doesn't work on some of my attachments.
Thanks

Oh this is on a 2014 Workmaster

Interesting. I was wondering why the SSQA attachments had a wide slot where the lock pin locks in. This design seems like it might flex more allowing it to let go of the attachment.

Is it a NH brand loader or is it a different manufacturer?

Appears to be SSQA, but it looks like a quite flimsy one.

Even though it's known to be a "universal", across the board design, there are definitely slight inconsistencies.

What is Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach

I show several SSQA attachments during this vid and show how we test the dimensions on our attachments.

After searching online, I have not found another one like the OP. His rotates a tab into place while most have a shot-pin design.

It is a New Holland 615TL loader

I think that is what is happening. When it is tipped and there is pressure against the tabs they tend to slid off. It does not do it with the bucket it came with is what is strange

It looks factory, although I agree with Ted. It is certainly not like the one on my 2019 WM75 or my TC40DA. On both the lever pushes the pin down.

Thanks for this. Yeah, I think it is just a cheap lightweight quick attach. I may have to look at upgrading it to the standard pin type. I don't like how some of the attachments can fall off when fully tipped.

If it unlatches from just one side, then it could twist the side-to-side connecting tube. Best to figure it out now.

It has come off from both sides. It depends on where the most pressure is. I did think 1 side might have been bent but that didn't turn out to be the case. I can use my forks and bucket that came with it as long as with the forks I don't tip them forward very far. These 2 I use 90% of the time but I am looking to get a grapple and I want this taken care of 1st. If I have to switch it out for the pin type I will but I don't want to.

Make sure the Tabs comes all the way down? Altho it does look like they're as far as you want them to go. Doesn't look like there is even any adjustment to change the break over pivot point. Looks like there is a lot of room in the tabs for play tho.
Could there have been a collar or hollow shaft that fit over the Tabs that were held on with a pin that may have fallen off at some time from the previous owner?
Your best bet would be to ask NH if there are any adjustments or just missing parts.

I had a similar problem but mine are pins.
I picked up a new '21 LS MT 235He with a stock QA last winter and when I used it on my new Land Pride 4in1 bucket it came off while back bladeing. Turns out the slots on the new bucket are shallower then the original bucket. I had to grind out about 1/4 x 1 inch area to make the pin come down all the way. Same with my QA pallet forks. According to LS they supposedly adhere to the Bobcat SSQA specs so not sure what the problem was.

I would make sure all the moving parts of the SSQA are lubed and free moving. Then put something on it that fell off and try to find out why it's doing that. Is the attachment to tall? Pins to short/not extended all the way? Sloppy pin linkage? Theres a ton of reasons why things wont stay on. It also could be as simple as the attachment isnt fully on the SSQA.

Thanks for your suggestions. All the attachments work fine on the standard pin type SSQA. I think it is how the very end of this type locks into the bracket on the attachment. The latch is a lightweight metal and I think it flexes too much to hold some of the attachments. I think it is coming down to a poor design. It would explain why you don't see this type of SSQA.
