Introduction
OVERVIEW OF STEP PROCEDURE
1 Take 4 12 hole tubes. 2 of these are the Leg Cylinder Tubes, and 2 are the quick attach plate tubes.
2 Mount the quick attach plate bottom 3 hole plates. Mount the quick attach plate top 2x3 hole plates. Use only the 2 of the 3 inner holes, as the third hole will be used to mount the leg cylinder tubes. Use 6 of 7" bolts, and use a 2" bolt for the Top Quick Attach Plate Tube. The 2 inch bolt is used to avoid conflict in mounting the angled support.
3 Cut the Angled support from a 24" piece of 1/2"x4" plate.
4 Install the Angled Support.
5 Install the Leg Cylinder Tubes.

New line gives more details
-
Mount the quick attach plate bottom 3 hole plates. Mount the quick attach plate top 2x3 hole plates. Use only the 2 of the 3 inner holes, as the third hole will be used to mount the leg cylinder tubes. Use 8 of 7" bolts.
-
-
-
Build the Angled Support from a 24" piece of 1/2"x4" plate - then punch 2 holes at 20" spacing using a 1-1/16 bit in an open source Holepuncher Machine.
-
-
-
Install the 2 Angled Supports using 7 inch bolts, one on each side.
-
-
-
Install the 2 sets pf Upper Cylinder Mounts, on each side, with 7" bolts
-
-
-
Install the Leg Pivot Plate, only on the upper hole with 7 inch bolt.
-
-
-
Use 4 11" bolts to mount the Leg Cylinder Tubes, where these tubes already have the Upper Cylinder Mounts and Leg pivot plates.
-
-
-
Attach feet holders to legs.
-
-
-
Weld feet and attach to legs
-
-
-
Attach bottom cylinder mounts to legs
-
-
-
Attach Top Reinforcement Plate and Bottom Reinforcement Plate
-
-
-
Attach Main Pivot Tubes to Bottom Reinforcement Plate. Leave a space of 4" between them. Use 6" bolts to bond Reinforcement plates to the Main Pivot Tubes
-
-
-
Bolt in through the tube, bolt does not reach to the space between the Main Pivot Tubes.
-
-
-
add info for Step 14

-
-
Hold nut inside tube to do this.
-
-
-
Place Spacer Plates between the Bottom Reinforcement Plate and the Pivot Plates. Bolt these with 6" bolts
-
-
-
Bolt the Pivot Plates to the Main Pivot Tubes.

Step 21
-
-
-
Zero - flip pivot upside down using a hoist
-
-
-
build cylinder bottom mount plates consisting of one by four whole plate pieces
-
-
-
cut bushings four-cylinder bottom mount and bolt cylinder mount one by fours to the pivot part one
-
-
-
Cut 7.5 inch 1 inch shaft to size and weld a T handle on it consisting of a piece of 2" x 0.5" rebar
-
-
-
place cylinder in position and place shaft through Buesching and cylinder mount and through second Bushing
-
hold in place to where it will be welded put a small spacer underneath the rod and part of the cylinder to fit exactly within The 4 inch cavity of pivot part one.
-
The bushing location should be exactly 1.6 inches behind the & whole of the one by four hole plate, Or right behind the hole So that people can be put in the fourth hole of the one by four hole plate
-
-
-
Repeat for the second cylinder
-
-
-
Build cylinder rod and mount
-
-
-
take a 2 x 3 whole plate and notch out a space on the one and that is two and three-quarter inches from the edges and 2 inches deep.
-
-
-
Take a second plate which is an unfinished pivot plate and cut it down to 11 1/2 inches on the long side and cut off 1/2 inch from all sides to make it slightly smaller than the 3 x 2 whole plate
-
-
-
weld these two pieces together all around the edges for a solid fit.
-
-
-
Weld the 2 inch mounting bushings around the notch exactly 1.5 inches away from the edge of the 2 x 3 plate. Make sure that the spacing between them is exactly 2.25 inches or the width of the rod and cylinder tube. Weld with the shaft in place
-
-
-
weld the 2 x 3 gusset plate right in front of the cylinder mount bushings and weld solidly to the plate assembly. Do two of these per mounting plate.
-
-
-
repeat for the second cylinder
-
-
-
bolt the Rod and mount plate to pivot part two using short bolts. Do this only hand tight.
-
-
-
Put in the rod and mounting pin to make sure it fits
-
-
-
take off the Rob and mounting plate and put on two pivot plates. For mounting the boom
-
-
-
Bolt on the cylinder boom cylinder mounting assembly to the top of that part two
-
-
-
Mount the quick attach Finger assemblies on the tractor - at hole 10 on the front loader
-
-
-
Move tractor to the backhoe and put the upper quick attach finger weldment into place on both the right and left-hand sides Of the quick attach and tack into place
