bobcat style Quick attach

[htatro]

I just thought I would share this project that I just completed. This is a bobcat style quick attach that I built for my 1941 international M loader. I wanted to be able to have the ability to switch attachments quick and easy. I figured I would copy the most common one out there. Very rewarding project. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Now I just need to finish making the plates that I will weld to all the different attachments that I have.

Beautiful job!!! What parts were commercial, the bottom pins & handles/levers? Been thinking of doing something similar for my FEL bucket.

I made all the parts except for the tie rod ends that are connected to the pins. I took some pictures of a Bobcat to model all the parts off of. It is not exact but close to a bobcat.

Great looking project you put together.

Here is a picture of the plates that I made to weld to my bucket. I copied these from a bobcat as well.
