I did mine using the NH part. Someone ordered one and never picked it up so I got a good deal on it from my dealer. Here is my thread.

Switched 16LA FEL to Quick Attach

Yesterday I converted my 16LA to quick attach using the NH part. The last pin was a little tough as the bucket wanted to bind up after the first 3 came out. The bucket is at the welding shop getting the old fittings cut off and QA bracket attached. My dealer loaned me a bucket until mine is...

I found the NH part, thanks for link!
I'm guessing the NH part is going to the the best in terms of quality and strength?

1 more for the new holland part I have an aftermarket one on my tc 29d and the bucket doesn't curl back enough. My tc 45d has a NH QA and it curls just fine. Sorry can 't tell the brand of the aftermarket one.

I have two Kubotas where I used the ATI units on some time back. They have gotten more exoensive for sure. But I am happy with both. Both were perfect fits.

I’m still recuperating from the sticker shock I got when I saw the msrp (sure glad mine came with the factory installed plates. Honestly that looks like an awfully big chunk of steel to do what mine do. How much does it weigh? It’ll reduce your lift capacity a bit if it is hundreds of pounds! Ooops, see it is just 100 lbs. what does the dealer want for the factory installed version?
