Hi,
Have any of you modified a Caroni 1900 flail (the one from agrisupply) to fit a Speeco/Harbour Freight/i-Match style QH?? I have a Speeco.
I just got mine yesterday and went to size it up tonight. On the mower the top link connection and the bottom links are about 4" too far apart vertically, even with the hook on the QH set all the way up. The bottom links are, thankfully, nicely spaced horizontally for the QH.
Also, there is a piece of metal below the top link pin that doesn't allow the hook on the QH to come up and under the top link pin.
Right now I'm thinking that I need to A: get rid of the metal that is stopping the hook from coming up and under the TL pin, and subsequently reinforce the TL struts to compensate, and B: move the bottom link connectors on the mower up ~ 4". I think it's better to move the mower's bottom links up, rather than the TL down, because the PTO needs somewhere to live in there too, and if the top crossbar of the QH gets too low it'll interfere.
I'd appreciate hearing it any of you have had any experience with this combo, or any other that are similar.
Now, do any of you offer free welding lessons???
