I ordered the bracket from my equipment rental place who ordered it from LOWE who makes the original auger for the FLU419. I am absolutely sure that there are other ways to do this and the bracket will fit many other larger form augers like the LOWE unit. I figured that having the bracket would let me rent augers any time I need them. I rented the auger and blade for a week to install a few acres of ranch fencing. I did have to make hoses as these augers are all for skid steers and the hoses are 5'-6' or so and we need 11.5' per the manual. I bet you could get away with a little shorter but I went with the manual. I have very rocky soil with big river rocks and it is eating them up like nobodies business. All said and done the economics are as follows: Rental for a week is $280 (new unit is $3K), bracket was $250, hoses were $250.Joeblow, that looks nice. Perfect for fence posts. Can you share some details on the attachment model and what modification was done to make it fit. I could use the same setup...
