Some time ago,(couple years) someone posted plans for a snap coupler crane. I am wanting to build one to fit my D17/WD45.
If someone could post a couple pictures and thickness of material used, it would be greatly appreciated.

Quite possibly was Ted J. I may have those plans somewhere myself.

Thanks Mike. Just looked at it. Pretty much gives me what I was looking for.
Thinking about making it telescoping like a cherry picker/engine hoist. Main use will be for loading pumpkins, (have about 40 that are close to 100# this year) onto trailer in the field. May put a large angle iron on as the cross brace, so I could use it on my TL12 loader also.

Happy to help, someone should be getting some good out of these plans!

I was going to build one or two of these things, thought I had most of the material, I did not. Screwed around and didn't get any bought. Then just kind of lost track of it. Always plenty of things to fix/build, maybe someday.
