bobcat quicktach handles

[Phil314]

Can anyone tell me the center to center distance on the bobcat handles like this one?

Can you post another picture? it seems to not work

I actually copied a worn out set that i needed to replace, sadly i don't have that machine to measure it for you.
If you are asking due to needing to make new handles, can you just enlarge the image you have on dropbox to suit?

I made a set of handle when I did some modifications to my Bobtach, the pictures were shown in this thread http://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=26499 but they have now disappeared. The center distance between the holes was 2.250".

Thanks, that helps. I've got an early 1845c and the quicktach setup on those is a nightmare. I've rebuilt most of it once already. It works much better now, but the handles still flip front to back and when the bucket is rolled back, you can't unlatch the handles. I've got a ballpark design in my head on how to rebuild them so they rotate side to side. I'm going to have to fab a bunch of stuff, but I'd like to buy as much off the shelf as I can instead of building it all from scratch. Once I've got the handles working, I'm going to add a linear actuator so I've got a power quicktach from the cab.

I measured 3 3/8. New assembly so bolts are positioned per design.
