Hello, I've tried scouring the internet to identify the attachment hookup style on my used recently purchaser front end Loader.

It never seems to quite match what I find though.

Is there a name for this style of hookup? Can someone identify it?

It seems to be similar to a global/euro style but not quite.

Thank you!

I'm thinking that is a KMW loader.

It's old enough that the QA is proprietary so only attachments made for that loader work with it.

Years back with the introduction of "quick attach", manufacturers (tractors, aftermarket loaders and the skid steers) did there own thing. That may be what you have.
With the growth and popularity of the SS, Bobcat was the original and leader for years. Bobcat is about 65 years old now with their "bobtach" probably about 35 y.o.
Their "system" (bobtach) won the popularity contest that actually may have been that a patent expired. Commonly known today as SSQA and is common/standard on most SS's and small to mid size tractors.
Too bad we didn't have the "euro" over here back then. It's a much more solid connection. 👍

Ah, I figured that could be the case. Thank you guys.

I think converting attachments to work with this system should be pretty straight forward. It's simple easy to use and solid. Just need to be patient and precise with the mig.
