John Deere 2305 mmm independent electric lift

[SpStewart]

I just built and installed an electric lift for my 62C mmm. I was tired of tying up the 3-point and didn't want to tie up the loader hydraulics. I built a bracket that used the axle mount bolts, an Ironton actuator, and a telescoping lift arm to maintain the same function and travel specs. It is a bit slow, but I can live with that to get the 3 point back. I used a momentary DPDT switch that mounted in the spare dashboard slot.

Looks like a great job. I don't have a Deere but I guess your tractor uses some sort of linkage that is hooked to the 3ph.

Might have to do the same on my little Kubota 7500. Every time I back up the arms dig into the dirt, especially when mowing a ditch.
