I made the weld on ones. Used some stock 4"x3/4" steel. Drilled a hole for the pins. They dont extend, but dont need to. I'm keeping the stock links, just in case I need them for whatever reason.
What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

Yeah good call. With this style, you don't really need the extend the links. Even if you are slightly crooked when approaching the implement, you can just push it into alignment with the tractor.
LS is offering those hooks as standard here in Portugal on the new MT3 series.

Where did you source the quick attach components? The closest place I found is in Canada. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, Brian from Fitrite Hydraulics sells those, both weld on or extendable link models. He is a member here as well. @MtnViewRanch

Which ones to you want? Straight cat 1, or the cat 1-2 hooks? Go this far, might as well get a top link hook also.

I knew Brian sold these, in fact, we did talk about it (and top n tilt kit) but I ended up buying mine from Agristoreusa
www.agristoreusa.com
ONLY because I made it apart of a huge order. There was another reason too, Brian may have been sold out of something, or something, I dont remember. It was a while ago. Mine arrived several months ago, but I just go to welding them up.
However, I have not looked at the top link hook...

Maybe I wont have videos...
I recorded 4 different projects/upgrades to my tractor over the Memorial Day weekend. It was a great time to get out, get these projects done, and film the processes. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that, apparently, I have no audio at all, none.
I tell ya, this whole making videos for YT is starting to suck. I have been plagued with technical issues, horrible shots, crap audio (or no audio), missing files, and user error since day one. Might be time to simply hang it all up. Really disappointing.
