Another pin on to SSQA Conversion

GPintheMitten · Dec 23, 2015

I'm going to convert my pin on bucket to SSQA.

Just ordered a plate and conversion quick attach from Titan. Will post back when parts come in
I'm going to cut the pin on ears out of my bucket. The plate will cover the rectangular holes.

Here's the parts I ordered

Pin On to Skid Steer Quick Attach Adapter w/ Spacer Brackets

and

5/16" Attachment Cut Out Mount Plate

I've been wrestling with doing this for two years. Can you enlighten us on the decision process you went through on the Titan versus other offerings such as a pin-on?

Looking forward to docs and pics

/edit
Looking at the "tutorial" Shop Stuff it seems like it would be a good 2 day, 16 hour or so project for an experienced welder just to put the "pin on to ssqa" attachment on.

I will be following this also to see how it compares in level of frustration compared to the conversion I did a few years back.

I'm not sure what pin on offerings you are talking about.

Newbury, I've reviewed that link "shop stuff" and have been in touch with him. It wouldn't surprise me for it to take 16 hours.

Newbury, are you talking about these for $837?

W.R. Long Pin on Tractor Loader Bucket to Universal Quick Attach Converter, Adapter | Free Ground Shipping for 1,000 miles!!

I'm going to have less than $400 into this. So far it's $315. But I will have some time but I don't mind that.

Offerings like Everything Attachments - W.R. Long Quick Attach Adapter for Pin on Tractor Loaders sell.

And for my M4700 my Virginia dealer looked it up and said he had a "2 lever" QA adapter for ~$600, but I suspect it was a Kubota specific and have not followed up on it.

Ok, thanks Newbury. I saw those early in my research. Too expensive for me. But I'm sure they would work great and I wouldn't have to fabricate and weld.

But I like to make stuff.

I will have some head scratching to do on this project because my loader arms are only 29.5 " center to center
But I'll post more about that as I go along.

Oh. Btw, the $315 I have into the parts includes the weld on ssqa plate for the bucket too. If I bought the pin on adapter from ETA along with their weld on plate for over $200 then more possibly for shipping.
