943 Skid Steer Question

[tractorslinger]

Hey Everyone I just purchased a 943 skid steer. Great machine. Only has 2,100 hours on it with a grapple. Got it for $10K. I think I did pretty good from what I've seen online. One problem I ran into was when I went to hook up a newer set of pallet forks, I realized the plate was too small for the skid steer. Wondering if anyone knows of a conversation kit to make my 943 fit the newer standard attachments. Thanks

I thought the plates were the same from that vintage onwards.
Good buy, that is one beast of a machine. You won't see many around though.

The 943 does have a different quick attach plate than the standard size skid steer machines. I have heard of people converting it over but not sure if parts from salvage machine will do it or it dealer sells a conversion kit.
