Maybe tractorsmart.com ?

If you don't want to go to your local dealer, then definitely www.Tractorsmart.com is for your parts needs. Fast service, reasonable shipping and Ronnie knows what he is doing. You won't find a better source....

If the price is anywhere similar to what they cost on my B2910 (I was thinking of retrofitting them on my BX somehow) you best be sitting down when you look at the cost... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Like Junk said, if you don't have a local dealer you want to check with, tractorsmart is a good place to go... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Don't remember what tractor model that mine were for, but mine cost about $60.00.... This was in October 03. I got the part numbers from a post in this forum. These work great on the BX22 and I remember doing a short picture essay as to the cutting and modifications that are necessary.
6C070-65320 - $15.02@
6C070-65333 - $15.02@

did not get exact price because to many items for local dealer to look up at the time ,but the lift arms were $200.00 each not counting all the telescope parts ,he said quick guess was around 600 to 700 dollars ,so I would like to get a few prices just to check . he is not allways the best price around, most of the time he is the highest .my problem is that I run cat 1 and 2 implements , and cat 1 is 27 in. wide and cat 2 is 32in wide so quick hitch {speedco} will not help. there are not adjustable so I hope these telescope links will help. unless somebody has a different idea

Junkman,
Looking at that photo wouldnt it be fairly simple to make those? Not that the 60 bucks is outrageous.
Some time on the drill press but should be farly straight forward I would think. Or am I just missing it completly ? Maybe adding a heim joint on the tractor end for the angle ? Just thinking out loud

There is more to it than that which appears in the picture. One piece is a tube type channel, so it is more than drilling a few holes.

( There is more to it than that which appears in the picture. One piece is a tube type channel, so it is more than drilling a few holes. )

Yea, I did see that, what I was thinking after the fact is if switching between cat 1 and 2 items wouldnt those be the same width respectively. So you would need one set of holes for cat 1 and an other for cat 2 or do makers very the widths? I don't know enough to know you know /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I am still trying to get over the foam filled tires /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I believe the original poster was talking about extendable lower link arms (the main lower link arms themselves can be extended out a few inches to make it easier to hook up implements)
