140 Lift Question

I just purchased a 140 and I was wandering if there was any adjustment for up travel on the back quick hitch lift. The hydraulics are fine on the lift. What I am trying to do is pin the front of the quick hitch under the foot pedals. When I do, I cannot get enough clearance at the back to get the implements off the ground. If I pin the front of the quick hitch to the rod that ties it to the front lift, I have no problem getting implements to clear the ground. Thanks for any help.

Stephen what you're saying is how the fast hitch works. You have to pin the rod to the horseshoe and lower the frt. lift down to get the rear od the implement to go up. Hunter

I understand about pinning it to the horseshoe and the front lift but I want to pin it under the footpedals on that little post sticking down and when I do, I can't get my implements to raise enough to clear the ground. I have operated other 140's in this configuration and the implements clear the ground fine, 6 to 8 inches. I was wondering what adjustments can be made to the rear lift to get more clearance. Thanks.

Stephen: If you read the manual that pining under platform is only intended for when lower section of hitch is removed for one row cultivating of high crops. It solely designed for pining the bail out way of high crops. The front bar to right rockshaft must be used with all implements. I have a device fabricated bolts to the two 5/8 holes on flat spot just ahead of clutch pedal on torque tube. With that I can pin my hitches at average operating height. I know none of my three tractors would lift mounted implements, (I have 14 different implements ) clear of ground if hitch was pined to platform.

Hugh, So what you are saying is that when I am running rear implements I need to keep the lift pinned to the torque rod which is tied to the front lift and when I am running the rear sweeps for cultivating I can pin the hitch under the floorboard to keep it out of the way of my crop. I appreciate all the info. As far as the tractor manual, I have a 140 that was converted to 12volt. I am pretty sure it is a 1960 by the beginning serial numbers that I can make out on the plate, do I need to order the tractor manual for the 6volt system or the 12volt? Thanks.
