Best Item I have Ever Bought for L3650

Leejohn · Nov 28, 2010

Here you go! The sliders were a little harder to make for the 2660, because of the front plate. It has to be cut in half and cut line has to be shimmed back in (1/8"). Also a bolt with a bushing has to be put in it. One other thing, the aft. ends have to turn just a little.
My 3pt arm that go to the top and bottom arm were welded wrong from the mfg. the leftone I cut and welded back in the right spot. The right one I just turned the bottom half 180 deg. The 3pt would not go all the way up and down without locking up tight.

I didn't say everything I wanted in the other post because I have something running in the background on this thing and I get knocked off sometimes and I didn't want to loose the pictures.
Maybe if you can find out the price of the front plate and it's not to much I could help you make a set. The old plate and turn buckles you can put back on if you sell or trade it. All the other stuff I can get and made here, now that I got mine to go by.
My 3pt was so missed up it took me 2 days understand what was wrong. Does yours lockup when you go all the way down and all the way up? By locking up I mean is there any side movement when all the way up and down. I had to stand on mine to get it all the way down. I also drilled a about 3 or 4" fwd so it can drop down more, as you can see in the pictures.

PS if that front plate is in your price range I can pick one up here and save on shipping. I can't say what the steel would cost because I had most of it.

LeeJohn,
Great pics, thanks. Appreciate the offer on help to fab. I will check on the plate cost. I am back in LV for the winter and the 2660 is tucked in the garage for the winter. I will PM you as I research the plate. Will be back in Joplin in the spring. I have no problem with the 3PT up or down or locking up.

Forget to ask if the white feather friend in your pic is still around guarding your BX

Leejohn - Very talented. Wish you were closer. I would pay you to make one for my L3650.

Then go here and look at it before I was done with it.

LeeJohn,
I really like the loops for holding your lynchpins on the telescopic release levers. Did you add those? I have been clipping mine to the ROP lock bolt eyes when the implement comes off and trying to think of a better solution. I think yours are the solution I wanted to think up!
