Poor Man's Top-'N-Tilt?

Re: Poor Man\'s Top-\'N-Tilt?

duanet,
Kubota's Grand L series has one exactly like that except orange. I didn't know there was any other kind. Part #TA120-39500 TractoSmart.com says that it costs $486.65 Yikes that can't be right, I'll have to check somewhere else.

Later

<font color=blue>... See http://www.tractorbynet.com/forumfiles/33-40600-treegetter2.jpg for a picture of one.</font color=blue>

Maybe my browser isn't rendering this picture correctly.. the very top of the picture begins with the ball end of the top link. I can't see the rest of the top link, and am not sure what crank is being refered to. Sorry to be dense! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

I think he was talking about the side link. He figures it could be adapted to use as a top link.

Bob, the crank handle is on the right (looking at the picture) lift link. Unfortunately the crank is aligned with the link which makes it a little hard to see. From the seat it is easy to reach the crank and adjust the tilt a little. I was thinking if the top link had the same type of adjustment with a crank, the top link could be adjusted from the seat also. It was just a thought, and I haven't checked into it any further. BMW did come up with a replacement for an orange tractor for almost $500, but thought that was very high. I agree.
