The model comes factory originally with a quick hitch and detachable bucket

but there are no other attachments that can be used, so I scraped that quick

hitch and installed a quick hitch from a JOAL Volvo L70 loader to allow for a

 much more wider variety of attachments to be hooked up. In order to fit

 the new hitch onto the 624J the boom tips did need to be slightly

 grinded and sanded to compensate for the size difference

By adding the JOAL quick hitch attachments such as lift booms, forks,

snow plows and grapple's can be hooked on to the loader

In order for the original 624J bucket to work on this new quick hitch the old

hitching brackets had to be grinded off and new ones inserted to work

The original Deere hitch with bucket didn't allow for much bucket movement,

but with this new hitch the bucket can tip back far...

...and completly tip down to dump

This is one of the "high detail" models from ERTL so it does come already

with great details and touches like the opening engine compartments

Although like I said before this isn't really a "custom" but a small little

modification that I did but it does make a huge difference! The 624J is a

greatly detailed model from ERTL this just makes it a little bit better=)

Here's a pic of the loader in action with its forks carrying an I-beam

over to that 365C L excavator for some trench shoring

Here's another in action shot of the 624J, here using its grapple attachment

to carry a segment of pipe to an awaiting  CAT 245 excavator
