I spoke with Rockland, the makers of my quick coupler today. They shared that they sold Hough the brackets for the hang-type quick connect but the spacing was Hough only. So unless I stumble on Hough buckets, I'm going to need to modify everything. Meanwhile, I figured out that the multipurpose bucket above came off of an IH250c crawler loader and it is a 2.5-yard bucket. The price is right on the bucket and I figured I could drop my existing bucket and using cardboard, make patterns I could then cut out of plate and weld onto the to doner bucket to make that bucket work on my Hough H80B.
So thinking along these lines, I started to look at my quick coupler and I quickly realized something is missing, but I don't know what. There appears to be a chunk of wood spacing the lower pins and holding them in. I'm like, huh? Does anybody know what is supposed to be going on here? Though I spoke with Rockland who made the quick coupler, they couldn't tell me anything about it or provide any photos or diagrams as to what the coupler is supposed to look like or how it functions. Does anybody have any light to shine on this coupler?
So here is the backside of my bucket for context.
Now looking straight down, there appears to be a block of wood occupying the place where I imagine some sort of mechanism once resided. There is a cover on the backside held on by one bolt (off-camera) on the top left and wrapping around the top partially covering the block of wood. There also appears to be nothing to do with the right-side lower bucket pin in this photo.
Then over on the left side, there is this! Again, where are the twiddly bits to quick attach the pins? You can also see that one bolt for the cover on the right side of the photo. What am I missing here, fellas?
