Looking for Two parts

Indygunworks · May 4, 2017

Tractor is a brand new Mahindra 1526

Not sure if they even really exist for this size type of three point hitch but I sure hope they do. I really miss the hand crank leveler on my old ford. I hate this set up where I have to take the weight off to make an adjustment. Is there a such a thing as a hand crank leveler for this size tractor?

Also, the pins that hold the stabilizer arms in their chosen spot use crappy codder pins to hold them in place. Is there are ball bearing detent version of these that are less of a PITA to use?

Im sure you can find the ball bearing type on line. I don't know what size you need but on my NH tractor the pin drops in and the wire spring keeper just folds over to lock . its pretty slick so you could check the NH dealer near you .

Im sure you will just have to get used to the lift arm adjustment unless Mahindra makes a screw type

Try hair pin clips, that what came on my Kubota. Cotter pins would get old very fast.

thanks.... Ill get the pins ordered ASAP, I am ok with the type pictured.... Will still be way easier than what I am currently using.

So unless Mahindra makes a hand crank leveler I am out of luck? What would that part even be called for me to do an aftermarket search?

Something like this? Adjustable leveling box, leveling rod, leveling arm.

On the pin, I would use one like this: CountyLine Lock Pin, Round, 5/16 in. x 1-3/4 in. - For Life Out Here

That's pretty much what I am looking for but the top of that doesn't look like its compatible with my set up. I don't think my tractor is anything unique though. Thoughts?

My LS came with a leveling arm that has two vertical handles on it. I've never had to remove anything to make adjustments with it, because you can grab it with both hands and turn.

I couldn't find a picture (I'm at work), but I did find a drawing that is similar.

And, those lynch pins like M5farms posted are way better than cotter pins.

I would think you could buy an aftermarket (Ford) leveling box, and modify it to fit your Mahindra.
I replaced mine on my Ford 1920, when I rebuilt it last year.
It is a very nice feature to use the crank for adjustment, I don't know why manufacturers quit using the crank style adjuster.

Because 95% never adjust anything anymore and the gear and handle was easy to replace with a rotating collar probably too cut expense. I know of more tractors that the handle does not work than the ones that do. because they are just not used

My Ford 8N is 66 years old, and that little gear handle still works great.
I only use the 8N now to pull a grader blade, but being able to easily adjust that one side of the blade, is the answer to maintaining a proper driveway crown.
I am ten years older than the 8N, ....and I am worn out!

I think this would be an excellent place to use a TNT.

Hand-crank adjustable link came with my Branson 3520H; I'd imagine you can get one from a Branson dealer.

what do you do if you need to use the remote.??? Ive been in and around farming all my life and I cant see the reason to have a lift arm hydraulics. Once you get it set for the piece of equipment your using there is no need to adjust it and every tractor I've ever been on had some form of right arm adjustment. I'm just curious as to why this would be practical

I'm with you, the only time I adjust mine is if I'm cutting a ditch.

I too am use to the '52 8N with the hand crank. One thing it does is keep grease from getting on your hands just to make a small adjustment. It also stays where it was set. On the twist type, if you don't screw the big nut down against it....it will lost the adjustment when pulling something heavy like a 6' box blade. I am going to put one on my Kubota this summer. It just plain makes sense. I leave the 5' finishing mower hooked to the 8N to mow the front fields and around the house. The 'bota is reserved for heavy duty stuff.
