Mornin',

Yesterday, I stopped in at the local parts house to pick up a heater for my tractor cab. $355! No thanks, I'll look around.

Just ordered the same darned unit direct from the manufacturer for $129. Seems to be one heck of a middle man lurkin' there. :>(

You could probrobly get a rear heater out of a Chevy Suburban from a junkyard cheaper than that.
Looks to be nothing but a heater core with a fan,
just like a suburban.

It is a stocking and handling fee buster!

The legs he'd like to handle that fill those stockings aren't cheap Allan.

You're like a lot of us old buddy. If somebody designed it, there ain't no way we can't make it better or make it work in a different setting. I got the 706 awhile back and it had the short hydraulic levers. Like Rusty said, I took some 1/2 inch smooth rod, custom bent them, and took cable clamps and fastened them up and made them long enough to just reach over and get ahold of them instead of fumbling around while bent over trying to find them when baling or mowing or something. I swear, if the engineers that make up this stuff would just get in and operate this stuff for about an hour , they would change a lot of things. Good luck out there in the cold, Harley

Yup, farmers here have been known to drive 200 miles to Kansas to find a diferent dealer at times. A real rip off.

Thats the ticket! I have something similar in an old cab. I used one of those ball valves in line on the hoses coming into the cab to act as a temperature control.

One more thought on last nights discussion on the hydraulics. Check surplus centers selection. You might find something there.

Wife has an uncle that works for an outfit that makes them. He gets discontinued models for next to nothing. I think he has a few dozen. I dont like the guy but maybe I should see if he'll sell a few. He dont have a tractor.

Allan, getting back to your hydraulics question, Why not mount the control up under the floor of the cab, and cut some holes for the handles to extend through into the cab? You can keep the PTO pump, all of the hot oil will be outside the cab, and you can control the loader from inside, where it is nice and warm. Might need to put some extensions on the handles so you can reach them. You might even be able to find some boots to fit around the handles and keep the wind out.

Mornin' Ol' Bud,

Yeah, I can get 'em into the cab okay. My problem is how to handle the combination of single throw and the two-way hydraulics.

Think maybe I'll put that grapple over on the tractor remote; all it consists of is a big 2-way cylinder.

Then, all I have to fight is the 2 other functions of the tilt and lift, which are both one-way hydraulics.
