L4600 Top And Tilt

hobonc · Aug 10, 2014

Brought a new L4600 HST in April

... I have not had much free time to use it other than a little loader work and mostly pallet fork work... Its mostly a toy I have other tractors that do the hard field around here... I am self employed and a one man show I needed a good dedicated loader tractor to use around the shop.. One of my first modifications was to add a Top and Tilt but I found it difficult to work the TNT hooking up to the 3 point (I found it a chore even with the standard top link and side link Bota what the ell are Y'all think'n). I made a rod so I could activate the top link from the back.. I ran it thru 3/8" armor coated brake line.... I may add a rod so I can work the tilt from the back if my arms get shorter... That P.O.S. little tool box is not gonna cut it so added a couple bolted together were the original sit... The Top link hanger is the best I can come up with at this time if anyone has a better idea I would like to hear whatcha got.. My first try ar Pix...

It was a slow day so went ahead and added rear controls for the tilt... Also made a hammer holder for my rawhide hammer... If I were to do the rear controls over I would drill the leavers for the rod instead of making a loop to go over the rod (trial and error fabrication)... I am looking real hard at the loader mount that empty pipe looks like a good place to store chain etc... 4" PVC is .050 to big to go into the hole I am thinking about splitting it and driving it in...

I got 14 1/2" of 4" PVC pipe in the hole and capped on both ends. I have my favorite chain stored in it and ready when I need it... It took some ciphering to fit it but gotter done...
