Has anyone ever made a bracket to pin cylinder rods and loader arms to, that mimics the loader bucket bracket with hook and pin to hold loader bucket? I want to remove bucket when not using it, but be able to attach it easily. Any help appreciated. Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

| I made a set for my Dual loader on my 200. They move the bucket about 6 inches forward. If I did it again I think I could get a little closer. I made them to switch between the bucket and bale forks. The top hole is cut open to the top like a quick hitch and I just leave the pins in the bucket and hook it and pick it up then put the bottom pin in to secure it. I welded some stop in so the pins always line up. I made them out of 1/2 inch plate. I have hooked a chain in them to pick things uand even with the bucket off you can push things with them on if you need to. |

  Tracy...Probably this is the concept that Dan mentioned..This is what I found/used...and fit right on after I changed the bar length....One inch pins...originally I had planned to take a 3/4 flat bar that fit the bucket opening and put the sleeves and "U" bracket on each side...That would have not lengthen it so much....This just seemed too easy...nothing lost if it failed...Dale
