1 more DC case 3point question for Mike Schotte

Thanks

- Dave

I am now adding live hydraulics to my SC- the next step will be to use a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the lifting bail and to weld extensions onto the the bail "arms" to widen them to 28"- which I think is standard for cat 1. One of the arms will have a bolt on bracket that will have to be removed and installed each time a new implement is connected to the lower arms. That is my plan anyway- and I plan to leave my drawbar in place.

If I get it working I'll post pics.

They drawbar was already missing in action when we got the tractor in '84. My Dad welded a second toplink connection point onto the drawbar support for use with a box blade.

That's pretty non-removable. I just got replacement drawbar, support & lifting bail a few months ago in case I ever want to go back to original.

That drawbar is a BEAST. Much heavier than it looks.

To answer your question- the arm extension on the lifting bail would probably clear the drawbar if it had been left in place.

On my dc, if I run a bar between the holes of the lifting bail it would hit the draw bar. Oh well - time to creative.

Thanks again! :)

Let me know what you come up with.
