Tractor
790 John Deere, 2000
Since Central tractor was going out of business, I decided to get moving and put together a top-link.
The 790 came with the SCV for an FEL; I hope to someday get one,then Ill put an electric diverter on.

Cylinder - $60
Hoses - 2x$15 - $30
fittings - 8x~$5 - $40
ends for cylinder - $15
- %20 discount /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hi Mark, How have you been? I have a quick question for you, how does the light right on the snow blower work? Does it get covered with snow, or does the snow create too much glare? If it works good I may have to add one.

The light on the snowblower works great. Occasionally there is a little glare, but the light on the tractor just caused dark shadows right where I was working. Didn't want to actually back into the car or garage....

Mark, maybe it's my eyes, but the link on the tractor end looks like a Cat II and the one on the implement end looks like a Cat I. Is that the way it is? Did you buy the link with the 1" pins already welded or did you have to weld the links to the cylinder yourself? It all looks like a very nice job and I know you will be looking to add a tilt link before long. I'm going to add one to my tractor this spring when my budget recovers from house building and the IRS. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

The cylinder is cat-1 and I had to weld the ends on. I bought a second top-link and cut its ends off... since I was buying at the going-out-of-business, I couldn't order two eyes.

Thats handy idea..wonder how that would work trans planting 12' spruces,for one could get down low and lift and tilt the tree at the sametime.
I have a helper just like the one in your photo..so how do you get the grease and oil off the fur.
