Hugh,
I'm glad you brought that point to my attention. My 140 does
not have that tab. As I recall, my Dad's 1965 140 had a tab/
backstop sort of piece. I may need to look at a later model 140
and copy the piece at a machine shop. The piece that
transitions the horizontal hydraulic movement (the long rod
running along the fender and gearbox) is about 1" in diameter
and has some wear, but gets the job done. The tractor does not
have as much lift range as what I recall my Dad's tractor having.
In fact, when getting the implements on the moving trailer, it
barely got the disk harrow or the turning plow high enough to
get onto the trailer. I may have to have a machine shop make
me a sleeve to slip onto the horizontal rod ahead of the
rockshaft spring meeting point so as to get another 4 or 5" of
lift. I'm going to have to also pull the lift section apart and
install new seals as the former owner said he usually filled the
hydraulic oil once or twice a year (I don't like the sound of
that!!).
Thanks for the advice.
Bill
