you improvise, overcome and adapt. My new to me 2004 AGCO ST35x didnt come with lift links just the lower arms. Agco does have these anymore and didnt check MF so off to Tractor Supply to see what I can come up with......

These should work, 2 sets of each..

nice work. could have just drilled a hole in the swivel eye repair part and used a pin but your way looks much more "factory" and less floppy.

Nice job indeed, looks like you've got some work planned with that setup.

I love my little Agco ST34.

Post some pics of your scraping work and thanks for posting!

Redheelerdog, Ask and you shall recive. I have just over 7tenths of a mile of dirt road into my cabin. Heres a few I took yesterday. Love how I can crank the side down to ditch along the road.....This box blade is a game changer for me to maintain my road, and plucking boulders is a plus!

That setup does great for your road, and a whole bunch of other things too!

That is a neat place, beautiful. Bet you its pretty with all the leaves on the trees. Were starting to have buds and some small leaves, I like spring time.

That's one heck of an nice rock you dredged up there!

Keep up the good work
