What do I need? My local KB dealership mentioned the Kubota mount to replace the loader pins mount with a KB skid steer QH mount for around $450 (around $100 less than aftermarket) and a QH bucket would be around $550. I can get an aftermarket QH bucket mounting plate for $230 if I can find a friend with a plasma cutter and welder to cut off the original bucket mounts and weld the new mount on the bucket... Any suggestions?

I made a SSQA blank mounting plate last week. Just a few pieces of scrap steel.It took longer to clean the bench off of 'stuff' than to cut/weld them...it'll be the base for my SSQA snowblower.
I've seen blank plates for $150 USD but I'm frugal and well, like building stuff.
Probably buy the SSQA bucket, or at the very least take a LOT of pictures and dimensions, especially the angles. Maybe the regular bucket is different than the SSQA one, so it'd pay to look before you commit.
