Got my PB installed this weekend. Here are some pics. Took a while, as I was doing other cores during the installation. Also my crowfoot wrenches are still in transit, due to arrive tomorrow, so I had to do it with regular length wrenches - that was too much fun:(. I also had to remove both rear tires. If I had the crowfoots, I would have had to only remove the right rear. I forgot to take a pic of the tractor up on the Powerbuilt 3 ton jack stand/bottle jack combos as my kids came out and were asking me questions about the job and other stuff. Those Powerbuilt combo units worked out real well. Jack up the tractor and lock the safety latch and away you go. No need to use floor jack and separate jack stands for the job. The last pic provides the best shot of the final install. Only thing I did not move the MMM hoses connected to the 3 SCV out of the way for the pic. I will do that tomorrow and then upload that pic. Same thing on the "tall" pic.

Nice work on installing the PB kit. I just wish Deere would make the connector sit higher up and away from the top-link. If you put a hydraulic top-link on, you may or may not have the cylinder rub the quick-connects loosening them just enough cut off hydraulic fluid flow. I've had that happen. It would be nice if they gave an extra inch clearance between the connectors as trying to push the retainer ring back with gloves on is a PITA in those tight quarters.

Is that an extension on your hydraulic oil fill tube? I'm going to have to see if it shows up on JD Parts. I sure would like one on mine as the hydraulic kits make getting to the filler cap a PITA.

Good job, Nuru! Thanks for sharin'. Are you in the planning stage for a backhoe, now?

Any plans for a diverter and more SCV's?

I agree. The top drawbar runs right through the pb on my 955. There should be a better way. Nice pics. They are sure to help others.

One Q...
Whats the story with the nee Toplink "Storage" Bracket? Is it a necessary install? I agree with mjncad, I removed my standard bracket as soon as I got my HTL because of clearance issues, and I'm thinking this one would be even worse then the original...

Thanks for the pics.

I removed the top link bracket when I added the HTL. Just in the way.

Thanks, Yep that is an extension tube.
