What does the third lever closest to the operator control. I would like to fill that empty spot. I saw you got it off another tractor

it runs the 4th scv valve that i added. That is in the pic where the right wheel is off. I use that for my hydraulic top link. I like it alot because i have float function again which the 3rd EH doesn't have. I use float for my finish mower and brush mower. plus its nice to feather the movement instead of full on or off.

i shoulda did more research before i bought and just had it installed. that looks like a pain in the a.s.s to install. I got the dual scv in the rear now off the toggle switch becuase it came with the deluxe cab. stupid me. Im thinking of using the one i have now for a hydraulic top link. i could really use that for the subsoiler and rear blade

it actually wasn't bad. I made the bracket myself and ordered the valve and some fittings from surplus center. the handle and cable came from deere, and made up the rubber hoses myself as i knew what i needed. Probably have most of a day and 400 or so dollars in it. well worth the money and time.
The mounting location is tight. if i didn't have wheel spacers im not sure it would fit. I just have it in my head if i trade or sell and take the spacers off, the valve will have to come off as well.

Can save a pile of dough fabricating your own blower setup. I've got the standard JD "A" frame front hitch to run the JD 59 front blower which is really nice but expensive. Nice thing about the hitch is it is easy to change implements -- snow blower, snow plow, rotary boom. I use the 60" rotary broom for a lot of the snow we get and only use the blower for bigger snows which we did not have at all here this winter.

yes the jd hitch is nice but i'm not that willing to pay that kind of money and end up with a 59 inch blower. I'd like to get to a 72 inch farm king and make that work off the front. Once i find a gearbox to reduce from the 2100 to 540 and reverse rotation i'll start putting some plans into motion. I've got my eye open for a 72" blower too. With my wider tires the 60" isn't enough.
I'm thinking i'll make a 3 point hitch similar to the rear, that way if i don't get a bigger blower till later it'd be an easy swap. plus i could run my brush mower up front. But my wish list is long, so not sure when any of this will happen.
