B7100 3 Point Lift Question / Problem?

[Tig]

Check out this diagram.

In your first pic, the assemblies at the bottom are in the correct sequence.
Left lift arm (needs to be flipped over)
Top link.
Right lift arm.
There should be a shaft that becomes the lower attachment point on the tractor. #34in the diagram.
It threads through; lift arm, tractor, check chain, check chain, tractor, lift arm. (hope that made sense)
#24 in the diagram is the check chain attachment. Yours seems to be a two piece assembly each piece already on the check chain. Check chains are oriented towards the center on my B7100.

If you are still on line and can get to you tractor I think I can tell you how to hook it up. The plates on there now for the backhoe has to come off. You well have to call me with you at tractor and me looking at the parts manual and your picture. I'll hang around for afew mins. before I give you my #

Thanks for the phone call John. I have my work ahead of me and I'll try to get the brackets off and things bolted up as soon as I can. I work a lot, But I'll try to get it worked in. Thanks again for all your kindness and willingness to help, You have all been very helpful and I do appreciate it. I love being a part of forums like this one. I'll keep you all updated along the way, hopefully my 3 point works properly once this part is done

Speaking of getting things done, I wasn't able to get a lot done tonight. My 2 year old was keeping me busy with rides.

Ok. Been out tinkering with it. I think I have it 90% complete. I know I don't have any pins in the end of the bar yet, I need to buy some new cotter pins and bolts for the rear end, It's leaking fluid out of the bolt holes since I removed the backhoe brackets. Man, what a pain to switch between the backhoe and the 3 point. I had no idea it was going to be this much work. Oh well, I think I'm almost done

BTW the 3 point lifts and drops perfectly now!! All I needed to do was loosen the colored bolt a little and now the 3 point goes up and down perfectly. Here are the pics, ( on the last pic I have used my legs to spread the bars as far out as they can go )

anyone here used one of these? Are they worth the money?

That sure looks good and should work. I looked at that box blade and if you want it for your tractor it well not last long, that is for a atv. Get you one for the 3pt and as wide as the tires on your tractor.

I agree with LeeJohn on the BB choice. Look for one about 400 lbs and 4' wide.
