Welded up the new quick attach yesterday. Should expand my capabilities. I have not seen any old Gehl's with new style quick attach, so I figured I would share. Pay no mind to the messy garage!
I have seen a few of this age machine with universal all-tach . HLA attachments here in Ontario builds a universal all-tach that they have specs to build for a lot of older and new ones as well . You likely saved yourself some money fitting your own .
Nice job! It will make that machine real handy!
I am thinking of doing similar with a 342 Mustang. Can I ask, what did that Quick Tach plate cost you and where did you get it?
I don't get why the plate needs to be so large where it attaches to the loader. Is there a reason for the rear part of the quick attach to be so large? Could it be cut down?
I got the titan quick attach adapter for $350 or so from ebay. The adapter does stick downwards too far. I am currently getting my torch setup going to snip the bottom off. I assume that because this is universal some machines would need the lower part. I have been running it this way with no issues so far in the snow, I foresee issues in the dirt with it dragging. The way it is built, you can cut off the bottom without sacrificing strength.
Sounds like a good move to snip it off at the bottom. Price was right on the adapter. You're going to like it for other attachments..
If your read up on SAEJ2513 (the universal quick attach spec) it doesn't give any relation to the ground, and in building the thrash-a-matics, I found that the dimensions vary from machine to machine. Hence make it long, user trims to suit.
