Cranking Adjustable Side Link

[Soundguy]

i scabbed a universal one on my 1700 .. got it from tsc i believe. just cut and welded on the eyelet end for the upper lift arm...

Mine works and moves ok....its greased, but when its cold and my hands are cold and when they have gloves on its a two handed task - that's because there is weight on the threads with the back blade. If I set it down its a breeze, but I need to see the angle that I am adjusting the BB to so I have to keep the blade in the up position. I just figured a crank would provide a lot more cranking leverage and make the job much easier. You can see mine in the pic beloe. My left side - non adjustable measures 18 inches hole to hole.

This is pretty short link fits imported Ford CUT. Looks to be 16 1/8".

Here is the website. http://www.compactractorparts.com/hitch_kits.html look at leveling etc.

More info. http://www.amazon.com/Compact-Leveling-SBA370010122-SBA370010142-SBA370200230/dp/B009KKY9EE looks like it could be re drilled at the lower mount but hard to tell from the pics?

Look at Scotty's pic. and it seems he's missing the Adj. left Link. The Factory Yanmar one I have is your angle and the Right is for a small adj. If the L. is set to high "more angle" that would be the only way it is hard to AdJ. Having to Raise the R. side. If you Set it to the lowest Hole that would make the R. easy to Adj. Your Dropping the weight if the lift is raised. I believe that maybe what Soundguy was more or less saying?

Carey - You lost me a bit on your post. What am I missing in my picture?

yea i could not follow that either???

But i do just as you said Scotty.

My diskharrow is a little whached out of level. I need to change my arms to level it up so it pulls perfectly level to the ground. To do this i use the same as you right adjustable link. But b/c of weight i have to set harrow down screw on the arm lift it up, then look if i need to readjust i just set it down and go at it again. Its a bit of a pain but really only take a few more seconds. As you move from the rear of the tractor to look at your "angle of blade" you just pull the lift up then walk back if you need more adjustment just let the blade down as you approach it then get in there and adjust it. ITs really not a big deal i dont think. I have to adjust it for the harrow then readjust it to level the next implement back up. Its more of a pain that the disk is wracked a bit than the adjusting??

I cant adjust my link very well with weight on it fact I don't either just to keep from stripping it out. I set it down and adj and so on. With that said I think it is very easy to do with a crank compared to a sleeve with cold hands so I can see where it would be wanted. I am not seeing another set of holes in your left link at the bottom Scotty I think that is what carey is talking about?

 

[deepNdirt]

I think what Carey is saying is you have a bit of adjustment on the left link, By removing the pin and setting it at either higher or lower hole could quickly get you closer to the adjustment needed rather than having crank the right one up or down, of course depending on how much tilt you need,

It appears he's Missing the Left hand Side 3 Hole Adj.. Like in my Pic.. Not all of it is showing in Scotty's pic.. Just were it Pins. to the Lower arm and no doubt it's seems Different. 2 Holes? maybe? Thanks guys sorry about that!!

I have 1 hole and a slot below that on my left link at the bottom so either its fixed or it will float if in the other position. Not sure why they wanted to float the links but that is all I can figure.
