Found a grainy picture of a JD 541 loader that shows the pivoting link that the cylinder attaches to:-------------------
On mine the loader arm attachment at the bottom sticks out further and it has that pivoting top link where the cylinder doesn't attach directly to the bracket.
Also found this sticker View attachment 534457
Did a JD Parts Search and it came back "Holder - CARRIER, JOHN DEERE 500 STYLE (563)" so I guess that's my answer.
Maverick 22 if you have any Dairy men or Ranchers in your area feeding cattle this type of bucket is used.
and weather or sliding on concrete wears them quickly. may just call local sale barn and post a notice of the item .
Some are concerned the top bracket is to light weight. My 4520 (400 series)same method and 2000 hours never has warped or came loose. also what part of Kansas is your location?
Could use a spare but distance might be a problem .

I'm in Great Bend - right smack in the middle of the state. There's only one dairy in the area, several feedlots but few solely ranchers. Several farmers also run sizable cow herds and stockers on the side but they all use considerably larger equipment. Around here it's hardly called a tractor if it's under 150hp. I figured on the distance being a problem and have about resigned myself to hacking this up and making it work - but I've gotten a lot of help from this site so I wanted to give you all first shot.
I would be interested in the JD quick-tatch brackets if you still have those.
