Quick coupler build for Deere 110tlb

[jenkinsph]

Thought I would post some pics of a quick coupler I am making for Curly Dave. This is to connect his Bobcat 10 planetary auger to his 110. I have a simple setup to work with and used my cutting torch to cut out the parts. Cleaned the pieces up and fitted to the backhoe to check the fit then welded everything up. After welding up it still fits (amazingly). A few pics of the build and will add pics for the balance of the parts next time.

Steve:

This is looking really good.

Can't wait to give it a try.

Thanks again.

Dave

I had to look twice to be sure whose feet were in the middle pic on the top row. I have a pair the same color.

Dave,
Hope this is smooth enough for you.


I checked and I still have the shoes on, don't know how they can be in two places at once.

Smooth enough?

It looks like John Deere himself made it.

After delays waiting for parts for my welder I was able to finish this coupler for Dave. I added a rubber cushion to the backrest on this coupler and on my own as well. I used some bushing stock to fab this instead of trying to drill through the thick plate for the motor mounting. Not being a pro welder at all I just wanted to see if I could make all the torch cuts well enough to make this fit. It fits my 110tlb and I hope it fits Dave's.:laughing:

Couple of pics of the completed coupler, and last pic is of the Deere factory coupler.

For clarification here are two pics of my coupler with the 110 and PA30 planetary setup.

I am pretty certain that is going to fit like a dream.

I am going up to Oregon June 5-8, and will take some pix of it in action then.

Thanks Steve.
