<> Hi amanda..... very nice neat lookin' cab frame so far....your tractor looks like brand new as well...soon as I get back to this project of mine..
maybe today...and get this thing up and runnin'..I will post some new up to date photo's of it all plumbed in nicely with rubber insulated clamps...yes I will be honest and had a startup problem...
my own fault though....seems I centered myself on usin' a power beyond adapter that I thought....yes I needed this because of the onboard 3 pt. hydraulics....for which as I mentioned on other sections of TBN that I removed as much of my 3 pt hitch as I could and was no longer goin' to need or use it...I found rear finishmowers rear graderblades just don't cut it for me...
I like to work looking forward not backwards...still have a stiff neck from last winters snowploughin'..usin' my heavy graderblade Ugggg...anyhow someone suggested at least leavin' the hydraulics complete and if I ever needed to...I could....wrong...I'm now goin' to forget about this part of the system if it still works okay if it don't....
who cares...I've centered myself around gettin' my front snowblade to do all the snow clearin' this.. my opinion I dislike snowblowers to me.... that's what they do blow snow all over the place...like all over peoples property/vehicals etc. ... anyhow with my snowblade I'll have all functions within reach controled by me sittin' on my tractor...I'll now be able to control the raise/lift plus control left and right angle....
last year I mounted a 42" Craftsman snowblade on the front made a quick made up simple mount used a 12 volt electric winch Ugggg once again....forget about that idea.....anyhow a lot of rantin' on..... but heck....I now feel better havin' gone this route....very time consumin' plus a lot of headaces not mentioning very costly..but in my mind... well worth it.....I bought a ATV 4' (48")snowblade....
for the cost of it I'm quie satisfied..the bulk of the cost was the hydraulics....if you have completely made up your mind to go this route...to eleminate alot of problems don't follow my project exacatly...I had a lot of changing of parts.... part locations....if you need help just ask or read my many threads....good luck take care Ampa <>
