The owner walks through removing the Yanmar SA324's factory quick-connect hook plates from the loader bucket using angle grinders, then swapping in an ATI SSQA bracket and Titan backing plate to enable skid-steer quick-attach compatibility. It's practical and unscripted, with real detail on tooling, safety, pin removal, and greasing. Best for SA324 owners attempting the same coupler conversion.
Posted by the Visionary Trailblazin channel; based on the transcript, this appears to be an owner-operator documenting a DIY modification on their own machine.
Use angle grinders with cut-off discs to cut through the welds holding the hook plates on, then grind the surface smooth and flush afterward.
It took eight discs total to remove both hook plates, though the owner thought six might have been enough with less pushing on the grinders.
Remove four 10mm bolts and nuts per side, then start the tractor and use hydraulics to release binding tension so the pins slide out.
Yes, the owner says it feels like it weighs almost twice as much compared to the lightweight factory Yanmar Quick Connect bracket.
