B7800 3 point turnbuckles

[Timber]

Yea that is them Charles, They wanted over $500 for the parts so I just orders another set of Turn buckles for now. I'll live with it, on a grand scale it is a mild irritation. I have to many other things to deal with these days

Timber,

For what its worth, I changed out the turnbuckles on my B7610 for the telescoping links about a year ago. I believe the lower link arm geometry and size is similar between the B7800 and B7610. Since I am always changing 3PH implements, it was one of the best upgrades I have ever made!

Paid about $130 for the telescoping parts from my dealer. Very easy change over.

Hope this helps.

I could always get stuff shipped to a mailbox across the border from them - 5 min away from their house and visit them more frequently....... then again.... MAYBE NOT!

Beauty of where I live is 30 minutes to the states and there is a store right on the border that accepts all packages for you for $2.00. Don't matter how big it is! I've had everything from ATV's and Gas garage heaters delivered there and everything on e-bay. It's pretty sweet!!!

I changed mine a few years ago. All together the parts were under $150. I figure that I would have spent that replacing turnbuckes by now.

Timber - I've been very happy with my dealer, Chappell Tractor in Milford, NH. They will UPS you the parts. It's a 2 hour round trip so I often have them ship me stuff.

How did you bend the turnbuckles while using a box blade?

I'm getting a new box blade for my BX in a few weeks and would like to avoid bending mine!! FWIW, I've used a back blade on the BX a number of times with no problems.

Parts for my L were also expensive. I had the stuff and made my own.

That's what I do as well as I live just outside a border town-Ontario/Michigan. I do a lot of web shopping as I have limited selection where I live.

I go "across the river" every week or so and fill up my truck as well as my gas and diesel containers. It only costs $4 round-trip to go across the bridge and now they have web cams that show the traffic flow so you don't have to waste time in-line.
