Okay, finally got around to adjusting the lid. Raised the grapple to a convenient height and closed the lid as much as possible. Loosened the nut on the clevis bolt with a 5/8 ths socket and closed end wrench. Removed the clip and pulled the pin out of the clevis while lifting up the lid to take the strain off of it. Let the teeth on the lid down to the grapple. Two turns of the clevis counter clockwise lined the holes up for the pin. Just like Ted said, a small adjustment on the clevis moves the teeth a lot. Pinned, clipped and nutted it down. Now we will see how it holds up.

A one eighth inch adjustment on the clevis somehow dropped the teeth half an inch or more.

My dentist would be so proud.

Finally got her installed. I was able to pile some burn piles today. I really like everything about it so far. Great job EA.

Thanks!

Question. I notice the 54" grapples both single and dual lid versions weigh the same, 349#. Has there been any thought of making a dual lid, 50" compact which I assume should weigh around the same 275#?

Not really. 50" really isn't enough width to justify putting a dual lid on.
Also, smaller tractors have lower flow, which would slow down the cycle time to open/close the lids.

People really love the 50" single lid though. It's one of our best sellers!

Is it correct that the 54" is the same weight dual or single lid? Or a typo? Lid is wider on the single but there is also one less cylinder, less mounts, etc.
