Hi Guys, I have a question for ya...
I have a Century 3045 tractor. Great little beast. However I overestimated how strong the bucket is, and bent the snot out of it. The quick hitch is OK, just the bucket is bent. As Century is no longer in production, I went to the Branson dealer, however the loaders are NOT compatiable. Does anybody know who made the FEL/buckets for Century? Or have an idea what the mounts will cross with? I am considering taking the quickhitch off, taking it to the local JD dealer & seeing if he can match it to one of theirs.
What I would love to have is one of the skid steer quickhitches that some of the 3045s came with. My local dealer is drawing a blank on that.
I would be most grateful for any suggestions or info.

Buckets are as simple as implements get so I'd find a metal shop that does welding and farm work, and let them straighten, reinforce, rebuild. ....

Yeah, I had thought of that too. It's warped pretty badly, although they might be able to fix it.
The skid-steer will allow me to find other implements that will fit easily, like pallet forks, or any of the other multitude of attachments that they make.

If you haven't solved this already, I spoke to my dealer a while back and he talked about converting mine from the
proprietary "quick attach" to a skid-steer attachment.
Contact me and I'll put you in touch with him, if you still
need it. ....
