Are All JD QA Dimensions Standard?

The reason I ask is because I saw an FEL bucket on Craiglist described as 60" JD QA bucket. Is it safe to assume it would fit my 400CX loader? Mine has the 73" HD bucket, but it would be nice to have two...one with a tooth bar.

They short answer to your question is yes, BUT: You will need to ask the seller what loader it came off of.

The top hook is the same for all the loaders-210,410,420,430,200xx,300xx, as is the spacing from the top hook to the pin. On the 400xx series loaders the the hook-to-pin spacing is a little larger (about 4")

OR you could just get a toothbar to go onto you current bucket, they install in about 3 minutes...

And some sets of FEL accessories have both pins like the Frontier forks.

One should never underestimate the power of laziness, I'd be tempted to do the same thing.

I'd put the toothbar on the smaller bucket, you'll probably want more cutting force in the cases when you'd need the toothbar.
