Zack, definitely looks way better without the ripper on but I think if your going to make a quick coupler for it lose the boxy thing on the bucket and put the "hooks" directly to the bucket and also make the coupler on the machine a little smaller.
I would have used the coupling that you took off the bucket for your coupler base as it is already set up for the linkages.
Good luck!!

Good luck!! thanks dain for the help, will do. yeah i would have 2 but it has the curve of the back of the bucket so in order to drill a hole for the bottom of the "hooks" to be locked in with a pin. so i'll see what i can do and post another update on here later. -Zack

A lot better looking with the hooks only on the bucket!!  As you said, "now to clean it up and get it sanded", also a nice paint job!! Can't wait to see the other attachments too!!!

Another bucket that would look nice is a demolition bucket with the top grab like the First Gear Internationals do!!
