Ford LGT 145 14HP KOHLER
Hello; friends I just bought a Ford LGT 145, year unknown maybe 1972 but, not sure and believe it or not it only has 1 Front End Loader arm and a small 2-21/2 foot bucket on it at present I call it the 1-arm bandit LOL. I am in the process of adding another arm and a larger 4' bucket, the problem I am having is that I'm, not quiet sure what adapters I need to come off the control arm module to hookup the other hydraulic cylinders, I was going to put 4 Hydraulic T's but,, I don't believe I would have the clearance to tighten the threads all the way down. Has anyone ran into this problem before any help or a few pictures would greatly be appreciated if possible of the items I would need to purchase. I will be posting some pictures soon. Here's some pic I promised :laughing:

Thanks In Advance!
William
