[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 7645, member: 897"] I have not found plans to build a “Bob-Tach“ and I have spent hundreds of hours reading a number of forums. There are a number of companies that build them for tractors i.e. [URL='http://www.ffcattachments.com/products_details.asp?Product_Id=716&Category1=Construction&Category2=&Category3=&Category4='][COLOR=#800080]FFC Attachments[/COLOR][/URL] For me the most difficult part of building one would be to build it strong enough without over-building and loosing lift capacity. I have a Bobcat 763 and the boss that supports the tilt cylinder has a lot of wear. I asked my dealer about line boring and rebushing. They told me most customers just spend the $500+ to buy a new plate and transfer their wedges and handles on to it. They also referred me to a shop that will cut off the bosses and make new ones are weld them back on. As this appears to be a semi common issue, I would think you should be able to find a used one and modify to your needs. The SAE specification actually describes the space reserved for the “Bob-Tach”. Each individual manufacturer can design their attachment plate to meet their tractors requirements (strength, boom arm spacing, tilt cylinder location, attachment wedge activation...) and as long as it fits in to the space described by this specification will be compatible with all other equipment built to this specification.
