Hello all,
I have seen in some recent posts about converting from the sandard JD alternator to a much larger, 45 amp alternator. I think the tractor on which it was done was a 2520. I was wondering if the same could be done on my 2305. At times I have thought about adding extra lighting and other electrical applications, but the 20 amp alternator is just about maxed with the new headlights I installed (they are nice and bright and really improve visibility at night when using the loader).
On the more ambitous side, I was wondering if the hydrolics could be improved so as to improve loader speed and possibly add/convert other implements that could use ether constant hydrolic flow, or at least use the hydrolics to improve their usage. I know that the top-n-tilt uses a hydrolic diverter, but could, say, one modify the hydrolics so that a diverter was not necessary.
This is probably the result of an over-active imagination and ambitions reaching beyond my current needs. I absolutely love my 2305 and I am not in any position (or real desire) to replace it any time soon. However, I love the thought of modifying it and customizing it to my idividual needs. If there was one application in particular that I would love to have, it would be the ability to angle my grader blade from the seat instead of getting out and removing the pin and replace it. The grader blade is great in snow--I just used it to plow out our driveway and our neighbors. But riding on it made me think about the advantage of having a hydrolically operable angle control that I could adjust on the move.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts
