GC2310 attachment advice

[mpegg]

I stopped at the dealers today, because of the lift height on the rear grader blade they sold me. It is a new model and they haven't sold that many. They also said they haven't had any problems in the past. So we tried to figure out why it will not raise very high. We didn't find out why, but found a fix, and thats why I wanted to post the outcome. After looking at the new units sitting on the lot, not the new gc24?? or gc26?? but gc2310 there were no changes. The owner looked at the part list for the new gc models and they showed that the fixed side lift linkage has two holes in it for different lifting heights. the adjustable one did not have the second hole. So I came home and put a hole in it, and just adjusted the other one to level the blade. Now I have about 13" clearance. I am max out on lift now, because I only have about 1/4 clearance in between the frame for the backhoe and the lift arms. If anyone wants pictures let me know.

Here are some pics of the modification done to the lift arm
1. rear blade set up normal its about 5" high
2. Is the pin in the bottom that was factory drilled
3. Is about 13 1/2" high using the hole I put in.
4. This is the hole I put in.
5. Just the two holes
6. The hooks I welded on.

The other lift rod I didnt due anything to it except for adjusted to keep the blade level

I have a Rankin box scraper for my 2300 and it works very well. If the box gets too full it slows down a bit but it still pulls along okay. If the scarifiers dig down too deep then it's too much for the tractor to pull and you have to raise it a little to free it up. I scraped about 300 feet of a really rough dirt driveway with lot of potholes in less than an hour with it.
