Default QA backhoe

as some of you may know, i have a 1772 with a KW loader and backhoe. i was thinking it would be nice if i could take this backhoe off when im not using it without spending 2 hours unbolting 8 fasteners, disconnecting 4 hoses and then blocking it all up. i came up with this quick attach mounting set up. i like how the Kubota QA worked, so i took some ideas from that. i actually had 80% of the materials on hand, so that helped out the wallet. the only parts i had to buy were the hydraulic quick connects and 2 clevis mounts. the bottom of the mount sits in 2 "J" hooks and the top mounts with 2 3/4" pins. it was a bit tricky to get everything lined up so the pins would just slide right in without a hammer. lots of tack welding, testing, and grinding. took me the whole month of January but finally i got it. here's a few pix of the fab work and a video demo of the QA setup.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
