This grapple is designed to fit the MDS 1.0 Yd bucket shown in the guide below. If your bucket dimensions are similar to the ones in the FIGURE 1, proceed to FIGURE 3 for the dimensions to weld on the brackets. Use 3/8″ fillet weld all-around (minimum) to secure brackets to the back of your bucket. if your bucket dimensions vary from the MDS bucket, then you will not have closure on the grapple as shown below. Therefore, modifications to the grapple brackets can be made before welding. The dimensions in FIGURE 2 can be used to achieve better grapple closure.
