Plans (drawing) for 425 Quick Attach plate?

SpringHollow · Feb 4, 2014

They are not that hard to make. Before I had a welder, I had Lackender make up some for Carl and I. I just gave him the dimensions. I believe the price was $100 or less but these are thicker metal than the smaller gas models. If you have a welder, they really are a fairly simple design.

If I was going to make one.... I'd make 3-4 or even 6. Unless you have a good source of scrap metal (which is getting harder and harder to find) new materials will cost you. If you figure in custom welding/fabrication shop labor, you're looking at over a hundred bucks pretty quick just in a couple hours labor.

Yes, the first one is more expensive labor wise. Multiples drops the cost per plate. I had 6 made for me, I forget how many for Carl.

6 for me as well and I have only one left and three I might need. Gonna have to figure that out shortly. I think it was 75 apiece then. But jeez that was 6 years ago or more.

I just had one made this past summer and it cost me $90. Mistake I made though was having it welded onto a bucket too low and now at full curl I barely hold materials in the bucket.

Yeah. Ken can comment on this but remember a weld direct might not give you the best angle on the implement

Yes, I have needed to tilt out the bottom of the attachment plate when welding it to an implement. It is not the height on the bucket but the tilt of the plate. The PT has a strange range of tilt - The PT can tilt the plate to rest flat on the ground but not much past vertical.
