Check out how JD did the 240/245/265 loaders. Bucket has top pin welded in place. Loader has a U to pick up the top pin, and a vertical pin, inboard of the boom arms, to lock the bucket on. Vertical pin is square, spring loaded, and engages a "loop" on the bucket.
Leaning towards the New Holland style I have on the TC 55. Angle bracket on top, slanted surface on the lower mount. Easy line up with a pin locking down the bottom. No slop, everything is against the steel mounts.
