Does anyone have, or know if you can get telescopic adjusters to replace the turnbuckles on the 2800/3400? Does anyone have them on their 2800/3400? Could you post a pic. If they are available, my only concern would be tire clearance. I have R4s and the turnbuckles only have about an inch clearance to the tires on Cat 1 attachements with the pins facing out. The turnbuckles will rub the tires if you don't have it adjusted nice and snug and in the center. I have the pins turned in on all of my attachments except my blade. Its and old blade and the pins are rusted in place. so I can't turn them in.
Telescoping adjusters for 2800/3400?

You must have the rims adjusted for a narrow wheel base, I have plenty of clearance on my tractor. All of my attachment use the same adjustments so once I set the turnbuckle length it's done. I haven't changed them since I put the Pat,s easy changers on.
Here is a pic of the space issues I am talking about. Notice that if the turnbuckle was not verticle like it is, it would almost rub the tire. Not much room between the fender and tire either, about an inch. I don't think I could put chains on if I wanted too. I believe there is a wheel spacer kit I could get, but it ain't cheap. Anyway, this is the only attachement that is a problem with as I have the pins turned in on my others. I'm just wondering if the telescopic adjusters will work on this tractor and not rub the tires, if they are available at all on this model.
Notice the white sealant from where the dealer changed my 3pt lift valve...I've got to get that painted.

That's strange I have a L2800 with R4s and mine are not that close with any of my implements 2"-3" avg, my rake & middle buster has pins and everything else is capture type and I can't remember what the clearances were with my rake on, I had the middle buster on a couple of weeks ago and don't recall it being that close.

There is three inches of difference in length between the 3130 and the 3400 link which would mean a modification on one end or the other to make it fit but depending on what width of attachment you are using it still maybe fine.

Did you loose your hammer? I know where it is.MDM said:Here is a pic of the space issues I am talking about. Notice that if the turnbuckle was not verticle like it is, it would almost rub the tire.

I used the hammer to bump my clevis in place.
With the blade I have hooked up in the pic, the pins are the standard Cat 1 with 26" spread to the pins. If I could turn the pins inward, I would gain 2 - 3" on each side, but they are rusted in place. I suppose I could saw the pins off and get new ones.

I would suggest a torch if you have it, those pins are pretty hard.
