Since I can't afford multiple machines for my hobby, I wanted to make my 125E an all-around machine. Here is what the back of a 4in1 bucket looks like.

I wanted to be able to add attachments without the trouble of unpinning every time. In a salvage yard nearby, I located a new quick attach(QT) from a mid sized Komatsu loader.

I needed to get rid of the mount points on the QT and move the mount points from the 4in1 onto the QT. I did enlist some professional help doing all this, however I do Computer-Aided-Drafting(CAD) for a living, so I had it all drawn up before the first cut was made.

The QT is a hydraulic pin lock. I put quick connects(QC) on the 4in1 hoses so that I can use that lever to lock my attachment, then uncouple and hook up the 4in 1 hoses. More pix to follow.

Id like to speak to this guy & figure out which JRB he used.

Does anyone know if he’s still around & how to get in touch with him?

He hasn’t posted here in years.

I bought manuals for the 125E on eBay.

From my searching about these over the last few months, it seems the 125Es were more prevalent.

As far as the used for sale machines, I see 4-5 125Es to any 100, C or E, or a 125G. However there are (2) 125Gs for sale local to me right now.

Some parts interchange between the 125 & 100 but most do not.

This is a handy loader: especially with the QA.
