If you have a Manual Quick Attach on your Cat skid steer/MTL, maybe these pics might help somewhat, but if you have a Hydraulic Quick Attach (like I do) then these pics will keep you even happier with the system.
The first thing I noticed back in December '07 was trying to keep the wedge pins springs from getting packed with mud and keeping the little hydraulic cylinders from moving them up and down, so I cut some strips of mud flap rubber (2" x 12") and slid them under the bucket tilt rods up to the grease zerks for the wedges and attached them with 1/2" long self tapping screws.
The other thing I did was I covered the bracket that holds the cylinders with a wider and longer strip to keep stones from hitting and getting trapped between the Q/A frame and attachments. I have yet to have any problems now, even after spending an entire day in the muddy gravel.
