MX Series hydraulic quick coupler

That prompted me to look at your profile. Turns out we are not too distant neighbors. I make 3 or 4 day trips per year to Abbottstown to play golf.

There are a few nice places near Messick's to get a drink next time you're in the area let me know I'll buy you a drink if I can break away from my busy retirement life

The demands of retirement are truly onerous

I will keep that offer in mind and I do reciprocate!!!

Well I put the final touches on the Hydraulic QA Coupler for my MX series tractor this morning.

Added the cylinder cover and the decals.

Thats great work but too pretty. Needs lots of dirt, scratches, and a dent or two

Once I get out there this spring with the grapple I'm sure it will look well used

In the antique tractor world thats called a period correct "patina"

We are getting treated to some good weather - have fun,

Well I finished the hydraulic coupler project and it functions perfectly I'm really happy with it

Below are a few pictures of it in different positions. It's really nice being able to just toggle between the 3rd and 4th function depending what you want to do and then just use the buttons on the loader control to operate the Q.A. coupler (4th function) or grapple (3rd function)

Very nice job. that would have cost a lot from dealer for sure. Mine came with all factory quick attach and I really like it as can pick up my bucket and switch to forks easily. would like to ad a hydraulic on the rear for down pressure.
