I made up some brackets and connecting rod to raise and lower my 3 pt arms from the back of the tractor.
Just a few pieces of 1 1/2" x 1/8" x 13" flat steel, 1 1/2" x 1/8" x 8" angle, 3/8" x 6 1/2" rod with 2 washers welded on each end and misc. nuts, bolts, and washers.
On the factory arm there is enough room on the shaft for the rod I made with 2 flat washers. Its all held by a cotter pin.
I drilled 2 holes in the lower back portion of the cab which is right behind the parking brake for 2 bolts to go through to attach the angle. Just 2 screws hold the PB cover and was able to move it enough to get the bolts in.
Whole job took a couple hours to fab up and install.
First pic shows the factory location where the cable from the cab connects.
After pics 2,3,&4 I found the arm was too short and added additional flat steel and bent on a slight angle shown in the last pic.
If anyone else needs further details let me know.
Only difference on my mod is you push down on the handle to raise and up to lower due to the way the linkage is. I wanted to make the linkage as simple as possible yet still work.
