Does anyone have a drawn out diagram (parts dimensions is all that's needed) to make a homemade coupler for a Case Mini?

I have all the materials just need to take some of the leg work out of it :)

Thanks so much

On my very first excavator I built a mechanical wedge coupler for my 120, I found someone with what I wanted took lots of pictures and took some cardboard for templates, I had no money so I built my own for the cost of materials, find some one with what you want and build it.

I would imagine not many people would want to give out that kinda info.

Good luck

Thanks Stafford. Ya, I figured there was a lot of DIY'ers here so someone would probably have something to share. That's too bad.

I'll give that a try or just trial and error i guess

Liability.

Hello.

I would have no issues whatsoever if somebody wanted to trace the thing or take pictures.
But due to liability I would not give out any drawings.
Remember, people have been killed from things like buckets falling off.

Good point, I have since had sold that machine and have 3 machines with wedge couplers, cws, weldco or john deere, I did it starting out but good point. But if you using it around your own property or where no one comes near it when digging who cares
