I have a customer that needs a bucket modifying slightly - a couple of holes in some 20mm steel need to be elongated with a reamer.

It's bleedin' miles away from me, so is there somebody local that can do it?

TIA

The bottom holes of a Euro bracket are around 3mm out - the locking pins won't engage. They need opening out a little.

You must have got the same batch as I bought.
@Hurdle bunter had to tweak his a bit and the same batch wouldn't fit a quicke loader but would fit a euro headstock on a fendit loader

I have had one set like this before. Not bad going out of around 300, though, I suppose.

I bought 10 and they were all the same 3-5mm too short.
2 mins with die grinding bit in battery drill sorted it

It's not a JD loader is it? Found that they had the bottom bar welded slightly proud and you had to either elongate the holes or slightly grind down the bracket where the bottom bar rests on to get the pins to lock on a lot of weld on brackets.

No, it's a new Quicke... so I suspect it's on-spec

I think I've had one of these sets too. @AgriLinc the customer I put them on for said he'd had to grind the stops back a bit and give the holes a rub with a burr, can't of been too bad because he did it himself and didn't bring it back, haven't actually seen the mod myself
